By 1940 Gehrig could no longer write. All his correspondence was either signed by his wife (if it was sent from Gehrig's home), or, if sent from Gehrig's Parole Board office, bore a rubber-stamp signature.

Here is a postcard mailed to a fan from Gehrig's office, bearing the stamped signature. Notice that the salutation, "With Best wishes to George," is typed, rather than written.
