"Frank, in response to your request about the crippled america books with Trump signature from Premiere Collectibles. I do believe these are authentic, I actually purchased on directly for 75 I think it was, when it came out."
"Here are three secretarial Jacks. I’ll see if I can find some secretarial Johns. I thought there were some. I’m not 100% certain in that regard. Bug here are the Jacks."
"No problem, Frank. You can message me."
"Would you mind if I messaged you directly?"
"No need to apoligize James, take your time. Like I said I appreciate all the help I can get. "

"Also, the shape of the J looks. Kennedy, generally speaking I believe, didn’t start using an autopen until the later 50s. "
"I do believe this is authentic. The connection between the o and h is indicative of Kennedy’s style. But, of course, see what others think."
HELP AUTHENTICATING JFK SIGNATURE 1953
Hello,I have been reading discussions on this platform pertaining to JFK authentic or secretarial signed letters. I appreciate the opinions of everyone that contributes to them including John Reznikoff, Herman Darvick, and Andreas Wiemer. I have attached an image of a JFK signed letter from 1953 that I need help determining if its authentic or not.
