In Reply to: identifying if i have lewis carrol handwritten notes? posted by bob young on December 17, 2009 at 16:04:02:

: hi i am a book collector. in an old, early edition of an alice book (macmillan, london: 1870s cr date i recall) there is a folded sheet of stationary, on someone's letterhead, with what i am concerned may be unsigned notes by lewis carroll. concerned, because i don't want to throw them out if it in his hand (it bears some resemblance to his handwriting but i am hardly an expert) but would not be eager to spend a ton of money to have this verified unless i thought that was some probability this was in his hand and thus have something a museum or someone would want. what do people do in cases like this? might you advise? are the individuals who will spend even 30 seconds looking at a scan i might send them on-line just to give me an opinion on this before i throw it out or it gets lost? thank you kindly in advance for any advice you could give me. incidentally, i live in a small rural town in the u.s. midwest and am not really proximate to any experts or big cities where i could show this to someone (assuming i even knew someone). or would in-person that be the only real way to know? thank you, bob young, wisconsin, usa
