This looks good except for something I saw right away. In the first sentence, the "1st" clearly has more spacing between the 1 and the letter s. How is that explained?

It seems clear to me that someone wrinkled up the original typed letter and then copied it. That would account for variations.

I want to believe this, but wrinkled paper wouldn't really account for that space difference. If this was done in MS WORD, it should really match exactly, unless someone did some deliberate formatting of certain letters or words to stretch or shrink them.
