I have one file containing several letters that I process using Wolfgang's letter module.
I have a special background for the first page of a letter. I define and set three layers: PCLogo, PCDept, and PCAddress. Here is a representative example: \definelayer [PCLogo] [width=\paperwidth, height=\paperheight, preset=lefttop, y=20pt, state=start]
Then I make these layers backgrounds like so:
\setupletterstyle[lettermain][background={PCLogo,PCDept,PCAddress}]
The result I *get* is that the first letter in the file gets the background on its first page as normal. But the subsequent letters do not. Their first pages are plain.
The result I *want* is for each letter to have the background on its first page, like the first letter in the file gets.
How can I achieve that?
Are your graphics for stationary or logos and headers etc.

I'm trying to emulate my college's stationery. The layers I made include one graphic and two boxes of text. We use the graphic and two text boxes on the first page of a letter. The other pages use plain sheets of paper. You also showed me how to get the effect I want in a separate message. This solution worked perfectly. Thank you very much! The solution:
\usemodule[letter]
\definelayer[PC][width=\paperwidth,height=\paperheight]
\startsetups PC
\setlayer[PC][y=20pt]{...}
\setlayer[PC][x=..,y=..]{...}
\stopsetups
\setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,background=PC]
... % more settings
\starttext
\startletter ... \stopletter
... % more letters
\stoptext
As I understand it, \setupletterstyle[lettermain][setups=PC,…] means that those setups are repeated with every letter. Hence, the desired effect. Thanks again! Michael
