The research is a lot of fun. Can’t wait till I get Ken’s book next week.

What I understood is that typefaces included the letters but there’s no *chart* that contains both 1859 letters. 

Ken transcribes into modern type a letter by Shelton dated 1859, in which “boy” is written ��<����>, “few” as ��<����>, “truefully” [sic] as ����<����>��������, and “you” as ��<����>. 

Fascinating stuff.
