Ringing the US isn't as expensive as it used to be. You could always ring, explain you are calling from England and you would like to write to them about such and such.

A two minute call would be all you needed and at least then you would have your answer instead of wondering if they ever got the letter in the first place.

And maybe if it isn't them they might have a forwarding address they'd be willing to tell you or to pass on a letter for you.

Hope you find your answers.

I see! You know, I have no idea, but did find this comment when I google searched your question:

'Many of the US directories are re-keyed from printed phone books, so can take years to add a listing (and even longer to delete an old listing, if they ever do).'

So maybe you just have to risk it! Or try phoning?
