Sure --- here's one I prepared earlier! It's fairly minimal, although
I find it easier to follow the document section if I use nested
definitions in letrinfo.tex. I've tried defining addresses in other
places, unnesting definitions and so on, with the same results.
One thing to look out for: make sure you remove ./letrinfo.tex and
the aux file between invocations --- they don't necessarily update
properly between invocations if you change things.
Thanks for your time.
