I'm not sure if you missed my posting re Stacy Schiff on this matter, or think her opinion unconvincing. I posted my message a few days ago.

Dear Jo,

Thank you very much for your reply. Yes, I did miss this. I agree that someone's inability to find a letter might be due to the letter's never having existed, although as a historical researcher I should be rather cautious about taking the inability as conclusive evidence of the non-existence.

Best wishes,
