Jeez David, I can't even write that nicely now. Over the years, seeing many of his letters and random notes on cuts and what-not, I think it's fair to say that all of his penmanship was absolutely gorgeous.
On a related note, if you guys haven't seen this, I HIGHLY recommend it:

Talk about one hell of a writer. And at the same time, reading about his attitude towards his 'bug' and see it change for the worse over the months is frankly the most depressing thing I've ever laid eyes on. We had a family friend succumb to the same terrible disease many years ago, and man, I can't even articulate how heartbreaking the whole ordeal was to watch unfold.
I sincerely hope that this disease is cured at some point in my lifetime...
