OK. The issue was figured out. IT is resending. It was a glitch and should be fixed.... Thank you all for helping with this.

Thanks so much, but when the email is not there I read it on FB, which one can do if the Letter is not sent via email! Can't wait as it is the perfect start to my day with my breakfast!

Thanks for attempting to fix this! I downloaded the Substack app and all letters are coming through there although not on my email account. Like others, a couple of recent letters went to my Spam. I quickly retrieved them. My first thought…Russian government hackers😉

Thanks for all you do, Heather! Even dealing with tech issues.

Had no idea there was a substack app, just got it. About to have some coffee and get to reading.

Ah, thank you Professor - it finally came in just now ... I was surprised not to see the letter after 1am - so did a search - the bing page for your site showed that you had published the letter about 1/2 hour earlier - I was able to access it from there - then promptly fell asleep while reading - so, will, finish up now ... all good!!

Thank you so much for your hard work ....

Odd, I renewed the page to comment, and it switched to this morning's email letter - went back to the search page - link there still good:

I didn't expect to be so forlorn when I didn't see your letter in my inbox this morning. Thank you for fixing it. I soooooo appreciate the letter.

I was bummed out also when you didn’t see the letter. I’m glad it was retrieved. Heather, Thanks for your efforts, commitments, and care.

I noticed that the April 4th letter was missing last night, so i went on a search. I hit the Library tab at the bottom of the home page. I opened the Letters From An American under my subscriptions. I found the April 4th letter that way. It was posted at 1:24 AM. I will not be deterred from my daily reading habit.

Think that’s what I ended up doing ? I’ve never had one go to Spam.

If I may ask, where is the Library tab?

At the bottom of the page there are 4 icons. The third icon from the left is the button for your library. It looks like an open book 📖.

It remains a 'smart' Letter, HCR. I hope that you consider getting it to subscribers when possible. As ever the Letter resonates with the facts, with Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson’s importance to America, the Republican Party's attacks on Democracy, atrocities in Ukraine by Russian forces and the nobility of President Zelensky in his support of the country and the survival of democratic principles. Thank you.

So glad to hear you are OK and it was a "just" an IT glitch.

Thank you, Professor. I went to your Facebook page and read the letter there but I know that several commenters do not have Facebook. I really enjoy reading the comments.

Whew! I count on you every morning.

I’m glad it was a technical glitch. At first I was concerned you could not post due to an issue with your health and well being. Take care and thank you for your continued attention and analysis of current events!

Thank you and your IT folks!

Interestingly, it popped up on an alert on my phone-I glanced at it and then it disappeared. I assumed it was me and read it on your FB feed. Never will miss one of your letters !!

No "letter" since saturday night.......worried that I might have been "dropped" due to some glitch. I don't have my Substack password either and it won't allow me to "correct" and reset.

Bummed....this was my late-night highlight

I was lost and now feel like I’m found!

Thanks for the update! We love your letters and obviously missed the letter from last night!
