Cleaning out the guest bedroom to put in a new bed and finally found the box of old papers I was looking for. It included my Grandmother's certificate for completing the Palmer Method of Muscular Movement Business Writing and is entitled to a Student's Certificate in Rapid Legible Business Writing. She was all of about 15-years-old. Such a certificate for a 15-year-old!

I may have a picture, but if I have any writing it will be later in life. But it sounds like a good composition.

This is immensely wonderful!

My favorite things about this include the fact that the Palmer Method certificate is written in copperplate and blackletter, and that A.N. Palmer's signature just looks like a sample from the textbook. Also, I don't think that angel is in the right position for proper muscular movement writing.
