2. THE CAPITAL D.--Compare this letter in "Date" with the same letter in "Dearest." 3. THE CAPITAL T.--Compare it in "Two" and "Tollemache." 4. The word "To"; see "To pay," in forged note and third line of letter. 5. Small "o" formed with a loop in the up-stroke. 6. The manner of finishing the letter "v." 8. The imperfect formation of the small "a." This and the looped" o" run through the forged note and Arthur Wardlaw 's letter, and are habits entirely foreign to the style of John Wardlaw. 10. Ditto the "of" in connection. 11. The incautious use of the Greek e. John Wardlaw never uses this e. Arthur Wardlaw never uses any other, apparently. The writer of the forged note began right, but, at the word Robert Penfold, glided insensibly into his Greek e, and maintained it to the end of the forgery. This looks as if he was in the habit of writing those two words. |
