Template:Correspondence — the header carried by every page in Category:Correspondence. It renders the letter's sidebar and stores the letter into the Correspondence database table, which builds the ledger at Correspondence and the per-cell and per-character ledgers automatically. Create the letter page, place this template at the top, and every ledger picks it up on its own.
