AutographLive will be buggy tonight while we test code we're developing for it. Everything should work fine within the next 3-5 hours.

Gerald Ford Letter and autograph

Hello

This came from an estate a while back.  Same estate that the Jimmy Carter letter I posted came from.  Per family request, I have blotted out recipients name and address.  This letter has interesting content.  It appears Gerald Ford was asked to host A tribute to Frank Sinatra's mother Dolly, and appears to refuse.  But what I have been able to find on line, he did attend the evening festivites with Frank Sinatra, raising over $750,000 for the Villa Scalabrini Retirement  Center in Los Angeles.  Autograph look good? 

Thank you

Unless it's autopen (which I am almost certain it is not) then it's genuine. 

(I don't believe Ford had a post-presidential autopen machine, but his office did send out autopenned photos and cards for a few years after he left office, possibly signed before he left the White House).

Unfortunately, like the Carter letter, it is faded due to light exposure.

It's definitely an interesting connection to Sinatra.
