"The superscripted "th" is kerned" No it is not. Kerning is when you have a character pair, YA,LT and so on, where they can be overlapped to get them closer. The 'th' is closer because of proportional spacing. Note that the big opportunity to kern in the CYA memo, specifically the 'YA', isn't kerned. Note the other opportunities for kerning in the other documents aren't taken. Sure, they could have turned kerning off. And they could have messed around with the characters to make some of them not fall on the same line as the others. But then they missed the superscripted 'th'. Doh! All of this effort when they could have picked up a typewriter at a garage sale... I can't tell you about the PO Box. Maybe such a PO box existed.
