National Handwriting Day!

It's #NationalHandwritingDay! Here is a lovely inscription inside a book from Thornton Burgess. 

Because I love the birds, I want you to. Will you? Perhaps this book will help you to become better acquainted with them. 

Your very sincere friend, 

Thornton W. Burgess. 

Springfield, December, 1919. 

I am not sure of the provenance of this book, so sadly I can't say to whom the inscription was given. Burgess certainly had lovely handwriting! 

The Burgess Bird Book for Children, by Thornton W. Burgess, with illustrations in color by Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1919). Contributed for digitization by University of California Libraries via Internet Archive.

Day 14: Author Signature The trick is to hide the fact that you know only BASIC cursive (barely) by making your signature almost unidentifiable. #instawrimo #authorsignature https://www.instagram.com/p/BnuVp6Shh4L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=mzj5jesdtarr
