/usr/share/doc is usually where the Debian stuff is. Does newsletr
exist as a Debian package? I run woody and I can't see one. Try:
aptitude update && aptitude search newsletr
If it's there, just install it. Perhaps there's a newsletr-doc
package too?
I would image using it is as simple as /documentclass{newsletr} or
some such. btw, it's been a while since I used TeX/LaTeX, so I could
be misinformed ...
