I wanted to thank you for the quality of this product as well as the way it was shipped. Not only did it arrive prior to the estimate but it was carefully wrapped. It is appreciated.
Dear Sir, I received two autographed letters yesterday, much faster than I expected! I'm a fan of Anne Morrow Lindbergh and I happened to find this item when I was browsing her books... The letters look great and I'm very happy to read her own writing in my hand. Thank you very much for your great business.
