2/15/2015: The NYT has the story, here. Oh wait, these letters are from Jeb Bush, found in his Dad’s presidential archives. Never mind.

Links to legal and consulting expenditures and the Hershner Hunter contract below – but not Amanda Walkup’s charge for investigating LibraryGate, which Doug Park apparently didn’t put in writing.
