Excellent. I’ll give you a shout down the road a bit. ✍?

I’m thinking I could do this by starting a new thread, and then when they’re all uploaded in several messages, mjp or whoever does it could grab them and put them in the letters section? If there’s any way I could help get them into place, let me know, I’m game. Thanks.
