Dear David:
I can understand your frustration, and I do not know your financial situation, but I think it would be well worth it to spend a couple of dollars to call the gentleman. Once you've made the initial phone call, you can let him know it's long distance for you, and I'm sure he would give you his address or even an email addy if he or family has one.
Trust me, if you don't do it now, you will only kick yourself in the good ol' American behind for not spending a dollar or two!
As far as NARA, they are very easy to contact and you should really do that too.
