  2. Are you going to give the answer eventually? So hard to make it out. Obviously first names are Richard & Agusta. Harristed/Harristes? Newmanlea? Just guessing.Pretty hard to decipher (for me) with the squiggles and smeared ink.

  4. Richard Harington and Agustav Heumichael. My guess is really a wind stab at what is written.

  6. Hi Michael,
    Maybe an update on the "squiggles" after the signatures actually being "Seal" indicators would not go amiss at this time.
    Cheers.

  7. Tom-
    That's a good point. The word "seal" is handwritten after the signatures and has a circle around it. The problem with this is that sometimes the "circle" gets so much flourish that it's confused with the name.
    Thanks for reminding me about that.
