:))

i wouldnt have posted a question with a prize giveaway if the answer was easily
culled from the net

to be honest i am fairly certain that this is the first time this letter by
Fischer has seen the light of day since 1977

while the original letter is of course worth a great deal of money,even the copy
published in the newsletter is very valuable

very few of issues of the newsletter#1  were released(perhaps less then 250)


as a collector of books as well i can say,when an original of an item is no
longer in existance(as the Penrod-Fischer letter most probably isnt)then the
next best example becomes collectable

so an original newsletter(with the copied Fischer letter) becomes valuable as
well,but of course no where near as valuable as the original


Best
