@3Dear Miss Monroe:@1 Provided you will allow me to use small letters at the beginning of my lines, I submit the following excellent American poem to you for publication in your paying magazine: SPIRIT OF '76 Her father built a bridge over the Chicago River but she built a bridge over the moon. This, as you will at once recognize, is an excellent poem and very American. I sincerely hope that no prehistoric prosodic rules will bar it from publication. Yours, @3W. C.
