Sarah:
Don't mind at all, thanks for doing the description.  I posted it to share
it and you have facilitated that sharing.  I suppose I take so many things
for granted, that I don't automatically think of how others are actually
going to access things.  I apologise for this oversight.  


Sherry:
Don't apologize, Sarah.  Few people would know that a scanned image of a
letter isn't accessible for a screen reader.  After all, it's a letter,
text.  But the screen reader sees a scanned image as an image, not text, so
it can't read it.  No way you'd have known that unless you know people who
use the technology.  I'm just glad you wanted to share your letter with all
of us.  I'd like to write to Jo myself, come to think of it.
