Church and State?
#39
thecavemaster Wrote:6, 332, 234........ The site doesn't say how many, it says correspondence back and forth over the course of months.. I'll go back and see if I can find how many; however, is your request about pettiness or exactitude? We both know it was more than a couple of letters, as letter writing was frequent, fervent, and animated back in the day... and letters were long, long, long.

I can go with the fact that letters were long long long. I agree totally, I've read some of them... (can't really understand them unless their in modern english though lol)

But as you said, it was over the course of months... Let me ask you this? And you may know better than I do, but I was under the impression that it took as long as 30 days to cross the Atlantic by boat during that time? So if, and I stress IF, it did take that long. Say they wrote back and forth for 4 months. Thats 120 days. And a max of 2 trips back and forth. You see my point there? But like I said, maybe you know how long it took to travel it,and it may have been WAY shorter for all I know.

I just don't see it likely that he wrote more than 2-3 letters, considering the time to write it, transport, and wait on a ship that would surely bring it back and to whom it was addressed.
