In March 1931 Edgar Allan Poe moved to Baltimore with his aunt Maria Clemm, his cousin Virginia and his brother William Henry, who died shortly after. Installed in an attic, Poe was devoted entirely to his literary work, working with short stories. His adoptive father dies without leaving John Allan nor a penny of inheritance. However, a newspaper in Baltimore gave him a $ 50 award for his story: Manuscript found in a bottle. Soon after, he married his cousin Virginia, who carried a precarious health.
