I've set an Ask Field for the addressee information in a letter. In the
second page header I placed a reference field to the addressee as well as
date and page fields.

When I try to retrieve the letter through autotext, the first page appears,
but not the second page header with the reference, date, and page fields.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for this and all of your past help.

Does the autotext entry contain the two pages?

While there are more ways that one to skin a cat, a more common way of
achieving what you are after would be to create a template containing a
userform to obtain the addressee information from the user.

See the article "How to create a Userform" at:

http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Userforms/CreateAUserForm.htm

and the following pages of fellow MVP Greg Maxey's website :

Sorry I didn't answer you first question. Yes, the autotext entry contains
the two pages.

Thanks so much, Doug. I'll do just that.
