Look what I found !  Look at middle of page.

A most distinguished member of the Leavenworth family was E. W. Leavenworth, of Syracuse, N.Y. He was secretary of state from 1850 to 1854. He, too, was identified with the military, but entirely with New York state organizations. He held the rank of brigadier general, and many important civil positions. In fact, he was considered to be one of the very big men, of that big state, in his day.

Found that Wm. Gilmore Simms (near bottom of page)
wrote a letter to E. A. Poe in 1846.  He was evidently also a writer.

Notice that Poe's name has Philadelphia (Phil.) to the right
of it.  Poe lived there for 6 yrs. and some contend that it
was the most prolific & happiest period of his life.
