I think it can help to look at individual letters and their connections to other letters, especially in the context of two similar items like this - if both 'are authentic', and they appear to be, then it gives you ideas of variations in the person's signing habits;e.g.-two different 'r's in 'New York', two different connections between 'e' and 'r' in 'Riverside', 'B' and 'a' seeming to connect, etc. Once you know that such anomalies exist in Ruth's writing, they won't bother you as much when you run across them in the future.
