Louisville, Ky and the date are not supposed to be with the person or persons found in the left margin. Leave a space between the SENDER's info (at top) and the RECIPIENT'S info. Then write the body of the letter. There was a person's name left out of the transcription. I added it. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-07-20 08:54:57
