Can I just get a blanket letter that covers 2 months or does it need to be specific for each crossing of a border?
My non-expert opinion if you did one letter and listed every country you might visit, and have the dates cover the whole period, you should be good.

I get asked for this letter every time at the Canadian border. I think only once or twice in the other direction. I have a Canadian passport and my kids have American. I always get it notarized.
