I don't recall how Burns addressed the Doubleday issue, and I didn't mean to start another "great debate", but the factuality of the letter was discredited well before the Burns documentary. Even the Hall of Fame (whose site was selected because of the connection to the story) acknowledges it is a myth.
I was just giving it as an example of a legend living on long past its refutation.
