Dear Mr. Amaryllis,<\/p>\n

Thanks very much for sending the
\npoems by Mr. McNair. We do like them, and
\nare glad to keep<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Poetic License\u201d
\n\u201cThe Bald Spot\u201d.<\/p>\n

I hope Mr. McNair does not have
\na book publication deadline coming up
\nsoon? Poems accepted now aren\u2019t likely
\nto be published until fall\u2014what with our
\nbacklog.<\/p>\n

Might be a good idea to put Mr. McNair\u2019s
\nname on his MSS.? \u201cThe art of losing isn\u2019t
\nhard to master\u2026\u201d, as Eliz. Bishop sings.<\/p>\n

With all best wishes,<\/p>\n

Sincerely yours,
\nJohn Frederick Nims
