The E-Sylum: Volume 2, Number 38, September 19, 1999, Article 4 W.E. DU BOIS HANDWRITING CONFIRMED In a previous E-Sylum, David Cassel asked for help confirming a handwriting sample attributed to early U.S. Mint office William Du Bois. In a letter to NBS Board member Joel Orosz (and copied to The E-Sylum), David writes: "You are a great detective to notice so many matches of handwriting samples. ... If this isn’t a case of the old adage, “you scratch my back and I’ll scratch yours,” then I don't know what is. We both proved each other’s query. I am not sure how valuable the proof of your documents is to you, but the proof of my documents used in the writing of my yet to be released book, United States Pattern Postage Currency Coins, validates much of my research, study, and theories, and disproves some of what was offered by the “experts” before me. I am grateful that you responded to my query for samples of the handwriting of William E. Du Bois."
