An acquaintance huh?
The acquaintance couldn't walk it down to the Fed Court House a few minutes away from the OfficeMax?
Did Rhodes call to tell the Court that an acquaintance will be sending a letter to them on her behalf?

From Sinclair. "I believe Mr. Frost has confirmed for me that the letter was in fact prepared by the “acquaintance” and not Capt. Connie Rhodes, unless Mr. Frost wants to change his statement as to having spoken with “an acquaintance of Capt. Rhodes” to having spoken with Capt. Rhodes herself, since the last paragraph of the letter states:
“I am faxing this as was advised by Tim, who works in the District Clerk’s office. I will mail the original copy of this letter once I have arrived in Iraq.”
- end snip -
And Rhodes couldn't find 30 minutes in her day to write the letter?
Rhodes found out about the motion to stay deployment from the late local news broadcast as she was leaving to board her plane to Iraq. She says so in the faxed letter. Since she was leaving to catch her plane, I doubt she had 30 minutes to write a letter. It’s likely that she called a friend or colleague to take care of it for her, which he did at 2:00 on Friday, 9/19. I believe CPT Rhodes’ plane had already departed for Iraq by that time, but I haven’t yet confirmed that fact.
