The letters from Cook County originally delivered to Rep Pete Stauber's office on March 6 are now confirmed as received! (For the origin story of their original delivery see the March 22 issue of the News Herald.) The first confirmation came via the DC area resident and cousin of this writer with whom I had left the letters who wrote: '...(my husband) and I spoke with several congressional staff members who are friends of ours to advise us on the best path forward. Indeed, due to the continued anthrax security measures, their best advice was to have the letters delivered through the internal mail service at the Capital, as there is a post office within the offices, so I'm happy to report they're safely with his staff.'
