To interpret a letter sent to you written in shorthand but you don't know shorthand help?

My suggestion would be to take your letter to a teaching institution that specializes in secretarial courses, and ask the shorthand professor to translate the letter for you, or to read it to you. Most professors are happy to provide this type of service free of charge. At the very least, he or she might have one of his or her top students translate it for you. In America, Gregg shorthand is the one of choice, whereas in Britain, Pittman's is the one of choice. I would think that a professor of shorthand would know both, even though it is usually Gregg that is taught here.
