Edna Davis Romig rejection card from Poetry magazine, circa 1930.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/77135047

The collection consists of a response card, with printing on the recto about Poetry magazine, and a typed note on the verso declining to publish some submitted poems, indicating that one had promise; the note is signed MDZ. Handwritten notes identify the poems as having been written by Edna Davis Romig, and attribute the note to Marya Zaturenska, which is unlikely, since the initials don't match (her middle name was Alexandrovna.) A more likely candidate is Morton Dauwen Zabel. Romig first had a poem published in Poetry in 1936, so the rejection card likely pre-dates this event by a few years.
