"The Purloined Letter" is one of Edgar Allan Poe's detective stories. It is the third of the three stories featuring the detective C. Auguste Dupin; these stories are considered to be important early forerunners of the modern detective story. It first appeared in The Gift for 1845 (1844) and was soon reprinted in numerous journals and newspapers.
