Talk:Sawyer's letter
From Lostpedia
Actually, Knoxville was founded as White's Fort in 1786, making it's bicentennial in 1986. Tennessee wasn't admitted to the union till 1796, but I doubt that is when the letter was written.
year of the envelope
Deleted a similar point in the article. Not because of the supposed inaccuracy but because there shouldn't be arguing in the articles. If you have a hunch about the age of the envelope - add it to the theory section, if you're sure - edit the article. --skks 04:57, 4 April 2006 (PDT)
Fair enough. That's where I put it.--Tricksterson 12:39, 4 April 2006 (PDT)
This shouldn't be so difficult. The envelope says "America's Bicentennial," not Knoxville's. We know Sawyer wrote it as a child; he has said so. The only reason the envelope was at all significant was because Sawyer originally tried to convince Kate that he was the con-man the letter talks about instead of the letter's author. Kate debunked this with the envelope; end of story.
I didn't delete the "theories" section of the article, but we might as well. There's no mystery in the letter, or in the envelope. Any objections?

There doesn't have to be a mystery, we don't know everything of the letter (ie. when it was written) - hence there is a theory section. --skks 04:26, 5 April 2006 (PDT)
Same letter?
Was that the same prop used in The Brig as in the previous episodes? It looked typed, and way too long to be whst Kate originally read out. (Yes, I am fully aware she didn't read the whole thing)--Baker1000 15:43, 6 May 2007 (PDT)
