Sorry to jump into a six-month-old discussion, but I haven't read my
conlang mail since then:

I don't know whether she wrote *much* grammar, but as a teenager I did
write to her to ask about some grammar points and got back a letter with
one or two things that weren't in the book. Not sure where the letter is.
I do hope I didn't leave it pinned to the bulletin board (like a cork
board but not cork) by my desk in my old bedroom in my parents' house!
I shudder to think of 12-13 years of sunlight baking the paper...
