- Letter A (insurer to insured) — acknowledges the claim.
- Letter B (insurer to insured) — requests additional documentation.
- Letter C (insured to insurer) — encloses some, but not all, requested items.
- Payment Ledger, line 1 — records a partial payment.

Stated facts
- The insured wants a clean, source-cited timeline before assessing the emerging coverage dispute.

Please: build a date-ordered chronology with date, event, source, actor, and a neutral significance note; flag undated or conflicting entries; list missing documents and follow-up items; treat any date the file does not clearly show as [date unknown]; do not compute any deadline or decide whether anything was timely; and do not value the claim or assess coverage.
