The second, third, and fourth images are items I received after sending email to Bill to let him know I'd posted the Southern Buddhists book (October 30 blog). Although he said he wasn't sending much in the way of MailArt these days, he was keeping busy with his photography, and said he'd send me what he had laying around. So I'm glad I received a couple issues of Republic of Indiana since they aren't likely to be produced again.
Obviously the redbird is the envelope front, the mockingbird on the reverse. He included a super booklet containing a dozen or so fantastic photographic images, and the Lotto game. His artistamps add so much to this fantastically stamped envelope. My heart jumped when I saw it in the mailbox... wasn't expecting anything so soon.
I've included some of the xerography from earlier correspondence with Bill (he's pictured on the left in the first image). A distinctive midwest shot in the arm to the mail art world.
Many thanks, Bill!
