Photocopy of "Correspondence" column in December 21, 1910 issue of The Nation regarding the source of Poe's "The Raven." Harry T. Baker argues that the raven named Grip in Charles Dickens's Barnaby Rudge is the literary predecessor of Poe's raven. For a later counterargument, see Joseph Jones's "'The Raven' and 'The Raven': Another Source of Poe's Poem," which lies elsewhere in Mabbott's file on "The Raven."
