~ The section below is a copy of the front of the envelope that
I, william burns edinburgh, william burns scotland, sent on a weekly basis over a period of years
to the characters named on the envelopes. The vast
majority were posted weekly from Edinburgh, but whenever friends
of mine were going on holiday the letters would be appeciatively
taken and posted from, among other countries, England, Wales,
Northern Ireland, the Irish Republic, Spain, France, Germany,
Belguim, Portugal, Turkey, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland,
Cyprus, Gibralter, Canada, the USA, Singapore, Australia and
Cuba. Similar letters were sent from home and abroad on
a weekly basis to the other "citizens-above-suspicion"
who are mentioned in the letter proper. Some of the letters
were sent on several different occasions to the legal mechanics
from several of these countries. My full name and
address were always included on both the envelopes and in the
letters. Incidentally, the poems on the envelopes were
mainly adaptations of Rabbie Burns' works, adapted to suit the
circumstances of how he might have reacted were he alive today.]

~ This section is a copy of the reverse side of the majority
of the envelopes sent over many years to the various characters
in the extended legal system. As mentioned above, my full
name and address were always included on both the envelopes
and in the letters. Incidentally, a friend of mine who
worked for the Post Office in the main sorting office in Bruntsfield,
Edinburgh, told me his boss had eventually instructed his staff
to bin all my letters to these "distinguished" people.
Interfering with the Royal Mail is supposed to be a very serious
offence in this country.]
