Maybe Barks just meant that since he didn't meant them that way in the 
first place, he didn't see much point in it. I doubt he thought it was a 
huge crime against his work. He didn't seem to feels as strongly about 
ducks as many of his fans (probably most of us in this ML) do. He was a 
gag-man, not a writer of story-arcs.

Well, they are PRIVATE letters. Not something either Barks nor Rosa 
meant to viewed by general public. Who would want to show their private 
correspodence to the whole world. Of course many people like to be 
Peeping Tom's for the sake of science/history/ whatever, but none of us 
has any right to demand them to be shown to us. I'm sure all the 
relevant parts of those letters have been show to us already. There 
won't be any dark secrets or revolutionary revelations to be found about 
Barks in them.
