Default Spiro Agnew Letter

With all the corruption finally coming to light in Washington these days, it reminded me of the Watergate era. Before that story broke, though, Vice President Spiro Agnew had already resigned for other less-than-respectful reasons. My father had written him a letter of support shortly before his resignation and here is his relatively terse reply. The envelope has 'Office of the Vice President' on it, but the letter itself is just a plain piece of typing paper with no letterhead.

I know the White House uses/used the autopen like it was going out of style, but does anyone here have any knowledge regarding this Agnew signature?

I hope it's an actual signature, but either way, I find this to be a very interesting piece and a glimpse into what was going on in the early 70's.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.
