#2, I am Ezra Pound

Dear Mr. Scott Weaver,

My name is Ezra pound. You may be familiar with my writings, but my reasoning for this letter is not to discuss my success or needs. I am writing this letter with the purpose of introducing to you a brilliant man whom you must publish in your magazine. He is hip, exciting, and someone whom I am certain will become a great American literature. And if anyone knows “hip and exciting”, it is me!

This gentleman’s name is Mark Twain. His dry sense of humor and love for literature is shown throughout his work. He has a way of speaking truth, but at the same time he makes you wonder if these words are his true feelings or does he just want to get his readers to question what is all around us? For example, “Letters from the Earth” he states, “More men go to church than want to. To forty-nine men in fifty the Sabbath Day is a dreary, dreary bore. Of all the men in a church on a Sunday, two-thirds are tired when the service is half over, and the rest before it is finished. The gladdest moment for all of them is when the preacher uplifts his hands for the benediction. You can hear the soft rustle of relief that sweeps the house, and you recognize that it is eloquent with gratitude.” As you can see he writes from the heart as if he is the only one who will ever read his poems.

I know that your magazine is a for sure way to get his opinion out and allow American hear his talented voice. If you give Twain a chance with your company by printing his literature in your magazine, I know you will be as pleased and pleasantly surprised with his extraordinary work well done!

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter! I will be in touch!
