The {{letter}} template is used to make a citation for a letter. Sources that use the {{letter}} template are added to Category:Letter sources.

	last	Author's last name, or the whole name of the uthor when that author has a single name (such as an organization).

	note	A note to be appended to the end of the citation.
	is-subref	Set this parameter to true when citing this letter inside the definition of another source in the "Source" namespace. This changes some punctuation and suppresses the categorization of the source in Category:Letter sources.
