I will try to get as many of the backdated letters formatted and uploaded here in the event that you are interested in reading them. As I get them done, in order, I will get them here. Eventually, I hope that you will be able to click on a link below and be shot right into a page where that letter is waiting. As I learn, please be patient with me. These are new lands for me to explore. Thanks.
Here are the ones done so far...
NOTE: Sometimes, the cut-and-pasting process means that the dashes are brought in as question marks and other various and sundry weird stuff. I am trying to fix them as I find them, but since I use so many dashes--it`s a tough job. Please forgive them when you see them, and enjoy!!
UPDATE, October 17, 2000--I have just spent three hours meticulously going through a couple of letters to replace all the wingdings that occurred in them, only to find that they did not change after I did it. I will continue to work to fix the little boxes and question marks that you might see. Sorry.
