    Steve doesn’t even bother to check or compare other letters written by Adams. It’s possible he wrote the letter & signed it later which could explain the different pressures.
    I wouldn’t trust Steve as far as I could throw a Sherman Tank.

    Idk, it could have possibly been written by John Quincy Adams. The embellishments he uses are found in his other letters (unless they were ALL by that same secretary)
    Also, notice the Long S in "Esq" on 3:28 (where the "s" looks like a cursive "f") and "Marshal" right after that. That would have been done by a much older person like John Quincy Adams, as it had just about been eliminated from print in 1800 and beyond. Whereas if he had a younger secretary, it's likely he'd be writing his "s" like how we do today, rather than the Long S that was common from Roman times until about 1800.
    Also, you see the capitalization of random nouns like "Return", which again would have been much more typical of a much older person, as that also began getting faded out by the late 1700s
    I'm obviously not an expert and this isn't 100% because some of those writing styles did pop up every now and then well into the 1800s but it's not clear that this wasn't John Quincy Adam's handwriting in full

  • @rickowenkennedy

  • @williamlanigan480
    @williamlanigan480 Před 4 lety +3

    I've been dealing in historical autographs for over half a century. Adams had what you might call a "crabbed" handwriting, kind of uneven. The body of the letter is definitely not in his hand. Take a look at examples of handwritten letters on the internet and you'll see what I mean. His handwriting was somewhat all over the place, not in nice, neat lines like a trained secretary would use, as in this case. The content of this letter is interesting but it not earth shattering, and I think the appraisal was a bit on the high side even assuming the address leaf with the free frank is separable from the letter itself. At auction maybe $900 for the letter and $400 for the free frank. Adams was a one term president with few accomplishments under his belt and as such is collectible as a President but not for much else.

  • @animalntelligence3170
    @animalntelligence3170 Před 2 lety

    I definitely know that my signature is much more legible and consistent than my normal writing. But comparing the body of the letter against a letter we know JQA wrote in its entirety would be the way to go. In the days before tape recorders, did people dictate to secretaries a lot or did they tend to write things themselves? If written a secretary, you would expect the body of the letter to display exception penmanship except that educated people in those days also cared a lot about how well they could write -- no typewriters, paper was expensive and using a quill pen itself took a lot of skill -- cursive writing was needed to allow one letter to flow into the next because printing would result in lifting the pen risky ink droplets.
