    Thought I would share this letter with you guys, and possibly get some opinions on it. The writing on this letter is different then most. It appears 'at least to me' to be written in some type of code or short hand. I'm not asking for a translation, but more of a conformation that this is a coded letter. I'm hoping it is, as this could be a very historical piece. The person writing this letter may have had a hand in some type of resistance movement, or something else along those lines. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Best regards- Jarret

    Nice piece Jarret. Personally I think it is just sloppy handwriting
    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

    Thanks! It may very well be just a case of sloppy handwriting. I was told by another collector awhile back that it was written in some type of code, and just wanted to confirm that claim. It does look very messy though! LoL

    No code and no sloppy handwriting, either; it's written in shorthand.

    (Don't ask me what it says, though. I had to learn shorthand in school more than three decades ago, but hated every minute of it and decided to never use it and forget all about it as soon as I finished school. Kept that resolution, too.)

    This was the answer I was looking for! Thanks once again for the tremendous help Do not worry, I wouldn't ask you to translate short hand. Id assume it is a pretty challenging task. I'm very happy to know it is for sure written in short hand though.
