This newsletter, first published in 1989, reported the research efforts of Nina Green into various aspects of the authorship debate and the life of Edward de Vere. In each issue one question was asked and answered (e.g. "Did Edward de Vere write the Langham Letter?" or "Does the early work of Edward de Vere reveal that he wrote songs as well as verse?"). While the newsletter is not currently being published, the back issues are available on The Oxford Authorship Site [http://www.oxford-shakespeare.com] which also features modern spelling editions of Oxford's poems and letters, plus modern spelling editions of Elizabethan documents useful to the study of Oxford's life and times such as the Langham Letter, the Marprelate and anti Marprelate tracts, Greene's Groatsworth of Wit, and others.
