(Malthus, "Letter from Doe to Johnson in 2002"; 25). alternately: "Our controversy..." (Doe, "Letter to Johnson in 2002") In this second example the page number and Malthus (as the editor -I presume- of the published letter) would be listed separately in the citation list for each letter you quote from: Citation List Doe, John, "Letter to Peter Johnson on 2 April, 2002," (Malthus 25) 2002. Johnson, Peter, "Letter to John Doe on 1 January, 1999," (Malthus 22) 1999. It seems as if there are two possibilities:

“Our controversy …” (Malthus, “Letter from Doe to Johnson in 2002″; 25).

alternately:

“Our controversy…” (Doe, “Letter to Johnson in 2002″)

In this second example the page number and Malthus (as the editor -I presume- of the published letter) would be listed separately in the citation list for each letter you quote from:

Citation List

Doe, John, “Letter to Peter Johnson on 2 April, 2002,” (Malthus 25) 2002.

Johnson, Peter, “Letter to John Doe on 1 January, 1999,” (Malthus 22) 1999.

Good luck! For each quotation, I believe you write the first in full the first time you use it and afterwards write:

” Op.Cit.” with the letter “name” and “page” thereafter
(as in “opere citato” (in the work cited))
