Correctly formatted text
The Duke's letter of apology is full of calm dignity, but one regrets that the accusation was not dismissed with a show, at least, of righteous indignation. /# /* <sc>London</sc>, Jan. 13, 1835. */ <sc>My dear Miss J.</sc>,--I beg your pardon if I have written a line or used an expression which could annoy you. Believe me; it is the thing of all others that I would wish to avoid! And that there is nobody more strongly impressed than I am with veneration for your Virtues, attainments and Sentiments! /* Believe me Ever Yours Most sincerely, <sc>Wellington</sc>. */ #/ [** No blank lines between these closing tags] This quarrel is of chief interest as indicating that Miss J.'s anxiety for the Duke's soul was
Letter as block quote
Use Block quotes around this letter. It's in a smaller font and surrounded by blank lines.
Blockquote and no-wrap
Use no-wrap to signal that the heading is right-justified. Currently (May, 2011), a blank line is OPTIONAL between an opening BQ and an opening no-wrap, and NOT USED between their closings. The Project Comments may specify a preference.
Greeting on the first line
The "J." in the greeting is an abbreviation; period inside. Comma means salutation is not a complete sentence, so the comma goes outside the markups.
Closing
Special indentation. Just enclose all of the lines in the closing portion of the letter in one pair of no-wraps.
The Post-Processor wanted a blank line above the signature. If in doubt, ASK. Move the signature to a separate line, rather than using 6 spaces. It's not a complete sentence ("sincerely," has a comma), so the period goes outside.
