I certainly hope to have the privilege of being numbered among your congregation, not once but often. In very good condition, with trimming as noted, intersecting folds (vertical fold to last name), light wrinkling and handling wear, and small water spot and blot to one word of text. Auction LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
