The item below was printed in a Stamford,
Connecticut, history book and depicts the signature of Charles A. Weed that
was below his picture. There is a great similarity in
comparison with that in the above-depicted note. However, the middle
stroke on the W is higher, and it is missing the final flourish. The
published signature also has a more pronounced slant. (from Elijah B.
Huntington, History of Stamford, Connecticut, from its Settlement in
1641, to the Present Time. Privately printed, 1868) Weed did not always write
his own letters or personally sign them. The facial view
of Charles A. Weed is also shown below.
