Elizabeth, sorry the first Purgatory Point letterbox was missing! I
know how disappointing that can be. Sounds like you were in the right
place...and no, you don't have to replace the box yourself. We'll try
and get out there and check on both that one and on Fort Wetherill in
Jamestown, which is also reported "gone to LBNA heaven."

And yes, we'd love to see you on a drop-in basis for the weekend
soiree in May!

Jay

state of affairs, the 1st letterbox is missing. i think we followed
the clues correctly, should it have been at the last observation
station, fitch or filch tower? the rocks were all over turned and it
was a real mess. colin and i looked around but saw neither hide nor
hair of it - he was disappointed. what happens in an instance like
this? should i have tried to replace it since i was there, or just
tell someone? and who? the group in general? and actually this is
all contingent on the fact that we were looking in the right place
(maybe not?) anyway, please someone let me know
