Offered for the first time ever - handwritten words from George Washington encapsulated by Beckett! Each handwritten word was carefully removed from the remnants of a letter Washington wrote as President! The word in the card is an original word handwritten by George Washington and not a reproduction or copy.

Each order will include one Washington handwriting fragment selected from the dropdown menu. An example of the selection of Washington words can be seen in the 2nd photo. You will receive one authentic piece of George Washington's penmanship encapsulated by Beckett.

Each word has been removed from a handwritten letter Washington wrote to his nephew Bushrod on February 10th, 1796. Busy with figuring out how to tactfully leave the highest office in the land, Washington sought Bushrod's help in dispensing the estate of Colonel Thomas Colvill. Washington would request James Madison to begin to help write his iconic farewell address just 3 months after sending this letter. 

The cost of authenticating a individual word of Washington's handwriting is $400 on Beckett's website; Unauthenticated words have recently sold for as much as $900! Don't miss your chance to own an authenticated piece of President Washington's penmanship!
