About this Item
TLS. 1pg. 8 x 11. August 8, 1975. Dallas. A typed letter signed Officer Maurice N. McDonald to a Canadian man. The officer wrote that I appreciate the interest you have shown in me and I am very honored that you should want my autograph to be among more important and famous personalitiesI have received hundreds of requests over the years for information and autographs and I have answered each of them personally and individually in my off-duty time, and I may add, at my own expense. I do this because I feel it is my obligation to the interested persons that would take the time to write to me. The requests have come from all over the United States and in particular from New England. I believe that yours is the first from Canada. The letter is in very fine condition. Seller Inventory # 3115

My specialties include Presidents, Revolutionary War and Civil War figures, Declaration of Independence Signers, famous authors, important business leaders, notable scientists, aviators, notable women and African-Americans, and other "household famous names."

I am located in South Orange, New Jersey, and I travel to many book and manuscript shows every year.
I am one of the very few members of the Appraisers Association of America certified to appraise historic documents, manuscripts and letters. I am USPAP qualified to perform appraisals for estate, donation and insurance purposes; please contact me for a confidential discussion of your appraisal needs.
I am an author myself, having published The Last Leaf: Voices of History's Last-Known Survivors (Prometheus Books, 2010) that contains 39 interviews with the last survivor of, or final eyewitness to, important historical events. Chapters include interviews with the last three Civil War widows, the final living pitcher to surrender a home run to Babe Ruth, Houdini's last stagehand, and the final American doughboy.
Lastly, I can frequently be seen authenticating and appraising on the History Channel hit show Pawn Stars.
