A note from McNair about this letter:<\/em><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0The second paragraph refers to the chapbook manuscript I showed to Don and Jane with illustrations done by an artist friend (Don did not find them suitable in the end, and neither did I). I chose the painting on my card, \u201cThe Peaceable Kingdom,\u201d because Don and Jane especially liked my poem \u201cThe Last Peaceable Kingdom\u201d in the manuscript I left with Don. In fact, after Jane read the manuscript and discovered this poem had not yet been published, she chose it for her new poetry journal Green House<\/em>, together with “Rufus Porter, Itinerant Muralist and Inventor, Undertakes a Commission in Bradford Center, N.H.”<\/p>\n
