<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Hi Steven,</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Ah, ok...so this is an unintented consequence of the decesion to convert all note <p>s to double line breaks on import and then wrap all double line breaks in <p> on export.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Hm. I think the problem is just with the export...if we try and catch all text that might start with < and end with > we should know not to wrap xml tags.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Will try and put a fix in. </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>

Poe describes in "William Wilson," was standing in Ingram's youth, and he was quite conscious of it as a tangible link between his own life and Poe's. On March 6, l874, Ingram wrote an autobiographical account to Sarah Helen Whitman, clearly acknowledging
Poe's influence on his early life:</div>
