THE SOUTHERN REVIEW

Dear Mr. Putnam:

I hope to persuade you to offer us some
verse for THE SOUTHERN REVIEW. The enclosed folder,
a shoddy looking thing hurriedly gotten up for
local use only, will tell you something about the
nature of our project. We are planning to run for
each issue a large section of poetry and to print
longer poems than magazines ordinarily accomodate.
When we are able to get good work we wish to run
large groups of poems of a single writer with a
fairly elaborate critical introduction. Have you
enough verse on hand now to submit for such a
group?

Our rates for verse will be at least thirty-five cents a line and probably something better.

May we have work from you at your earliest
convenience?
