Heinlein Form Letter

One of my favorite writers is Robert Heinlein. I have read most of his books. "Starship Troopers" is my personal favorite. I read his collected letters "Grumbles from the Grave" ten years ago. I remember reading that he received so many fan letters that he and his wife Virginia were not able to personally respond to all of them. I just discovered this post on another blog that had a copy of the form letter (yes, form letter) that he regularly used to respond to fan letters. It is worth a look over.

Hi Joseph,

I was pleased to get your comment, but I won't send a copy of Heinlein's form letter in response. Thank you for collecting the Kosmosflot stories. If you wish, you can send the pdf file to me over at yahoo dott comm; my account there is viktorkupin.

Presently I am finishing a story titled "Wampus" and, yes, it's another Kosmosflot tale. This one is based on an unusual and funny incident that supposedly occurred at an air force base. I hope you will read it for me and let me know what you think. Thanks again.
