I see your point, thanks! Perhaps obvious, I'm just starting to get aquainted with emacs Lisp... I figured
the best way to learn is to get my hands dirty with it.

I realize this is getting a little off topic but running the function now results in the error: 

`let' bindings can have only one value-form: cond, ((= 1 arg) (quote (-textfield subject -limit 0))), ((= 2
arg) (quote (-textfield from -limit 0)))
