This man's greatness was his simplicity. The whole writing reflects a person of a very forthright and honest nature. Very few, if any, covering loops in the middle zone, show a man of a spontaneous and outspoken disposition. His spontaneity is further expressed by a left margin, which is very progressing. Honesty and patience in his personality are shown by the "i" dots that frequently occur as "fine" dots that appear very near the stem, though his writing is very fast. Such was his simplicity, that in the word "sympathy", we find the rounded "s", which literally stands for "sympathy"!

This spontaneity, however, did not mean a "lack of caution" for him. The separated "d" downstroke, shows a certain deliberateness, which means that he liked to work at a pace which suited his comfort, and thus, was very thorough and sure of his direction and goals. Many of his leading out lines (which follow the baseline far after the words have ended) also emphasize a man of caution.

This man, though frail in his body, was by no means "weak"... in fact, the heavy endings in the letters, and strong downstrokes in the "g" indicate a person of a very high degree of determination. The "t" bars which end heavily, while going slightly downward, indicate self-control and a strong will power. This also indicates a person who wielded the power to dominate. It was, probably his broadmindedness, sympathy and benevolence, that made him a "lovable" dominator!

The leading-out strokes in all the words, retain their pressure, and hence augment the decisiveness in his personality which the "separated" "d" downstroke shows. Wide spacing between the letters, indicate broad-mindedness in his personality. He had a very fast rate of thinking(shown in the high degree of connection between letters, and the "t" bars of the previous words being used to start the following words and in the rightwardness of some of the "g" ending strokes), which combined with his deliberateness mean: a person who was fast and thorough. All the same, he was never reckless in his actions, as is shown by the upward curving leading out strokes in the middle-zone letters like "n". A tendency to be formal is shown in the occasional arcade connections used in words like "of" and, of course in his signature.

Leanness in the upperzone loops indicate a person who was very alert and agile in his mind. All the same, one does not need to look hard to find the lines "crashing" into the right margin repeatedly, which indicate a person who seldom learnt from his mistakes!

His refined literary and cultural leanings are well shown in the delta "d"s that he so often used. Also emphasizing this, is the frequent usage of the fluid "g".

Being unemotional, fair and objective in his thoughts and deeds was obviously not beyond him, which is reflected in the sharp-pointed "n"s and angular (albeit wide) "m"s. For the most part, he was a person who believed in logic, shown by many words which have a very high degree of connectivity.

All in all, here was a STRONG, FRANK and BENEVOLENT person, with a very high capability to hold STEADFAST for what he stood. Simple living and high thinking, was his motto in life.
