I am curious for more. Does the source book have more on this story? I'd like to know whether the letter was ever shared in the community.

  It must have been shared with at least one other person as it explicitly states that there is only a single copy in existence. For us to be reading it means either the recipient or the person they shared it with subsequently shared it with others.

    "Copy" probably doesn't refer to an actual copy, outside of the one Vonnegut probably made for himself -- it refers to the one sent.

      Still rather deceitful of Mr. Vonnegut.

        hmmm

    The first time I read it, I also had that interpretation. On subsequent reading, it does seem like copy meant a copy that is not the original. Not so much, "the only copy in existence". Suffice it to say, I was sufficiently confused as well.
