Well, make sure your Apple //e text files are straight text (ie: not
AppleWorks.  If they are, print them as ASCII files)
 
Then, find anyone with a Mac with an FDHD drive.  (SE/FDHD, SE/30, IIfx,
IIci, IIsi, II LC, etc.).  You can then use "Apple File Exchange" to read
directly off a 3.5" ProDOS disk.
 
Oops.  If the files are on DOS 3.3, use the ProDOS System Master or Copy
II+ to convert them to ProDOS.  Then find someone with a 3.5" drive on
their Apple II (a IIgs, maybe), or you could even borrow a Mac's 3.5"
external (if you've got the interface card).  In any case, if you want to
do it "easily" you need to:
 
1) Have the ASCII files on a 3.5" ProDOS disk to read with an FDHD
2) Have a modem on both computers, call each other (or direct-connect
   with a phone cable), and transfer the ASCII files...
