Gotcha Jeff. When I found out my Rube was a stamp after about 35 years, I acquired this one.

I will go through all of the other examples of Rube's handwriting this week, but just wanted to show really quick how he made his upper case "F"'s, from a letter in 1975. Completely different formation. I will do the other letters from Happy Birthday later this week. I think there is a very strong possibility this Happy Birthday note was written by his wife Jeannette, which would just be fantastic for my research as I have really been hoping someone may have received something written along with an autograph reply from that time period.

The one in my 1966 letter from him (top of page 4 of this thread) has a capital F exactly like the one in your post here from the 1975 letter. Mine was definitely written by him.

Thanks for pointing that out Tom. Just from glancing at more really quick, it appears his capital "F" has does not have the second cross of the F on the left hand side, like a cursive version in the Happy Bday note. The second cross of the F is only on the right had side in his handwritten letters that we know he penned. Definitely not looking like Rube wrote that Happy Birthday note (I think that was already pretty obvious though just from a cursory look), but excited to work on the other parts of the note as well and compare.

Cool, I'm happy my little note helped.

Here's another little monkey wrench to throw into the mix. Could the birthday note have been written by his caregiver and not his wife?
