John,
Thank you for giving us the chance to consider “Farmhouse in the Lanes” for publication in The Missouri Review. Though it does not fit our current needs, we appreciate your interest in our magazine and your commitment to quality writing.
We wish you the best of luck publishing your work and hope you’ll consider sending us more in the future.
Sincerely,
The Editors
So you must have heard via email? This is the one that is already published, though. ❤
