Thank you so much Lance!

Would it be possible to get an electronic copy of these records? Also, I wanted to check: What address did you use to send these documents?

My address is 124 Washington Pl, New York NY 10014. If you could send any documents to that address that would be great, because otherwise I won't receive them.

Thanks again.
