Abstract
Autograph manuscript with signature at the end of a poem entitled "Logan Grazier". English was an opponent of Edgar Allen
Poe and wrote in a style imitative of his immediate literary predecessors. This poem is his celebration of the simple, hardworking
herdsmen of Logan County. The author hopes that he, the poem and its subject will be long remembered. Also there is a TLS
from the author Davis Grubb (dated: 11 September 1954) requesting that he be excused from meeting a deadline on A Dream of
Kings. Talks about how writers have a habit of avoiding what they should be doing.
