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>. */ #/ This quarrel is of chief interest as indicating that Miss J.'s anxiety for the Duke's soul was not altogether disinterested. If it had been, her resentment at his gallantry would hardly have been expressed in this manner. It is evident
Letter as block quotes
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 (March, 2011), a blank line is needed between opening BQ and opening no-wrap, but not between their closings.
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
Just enclose all of the specially indented 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.
