It is impossible for me to respond to letters without return addresses or legible signatures.

Please note that a legible signature on a balance sheet will not satisfy the additional requirement for a printed name.

Nowhere in the book does the man use his full name (one page contains a barely legible signature; it appears to read only "Saman," twice.)

One of the drawings on view depicts the actress Justine Johnston; it bears a very legible signature written by McCarthy that reads "Gerald Dashton," a pseudonym he used.

The surfaces of the desk, the shelving, the furniture, the window all had been dutifully daubed and dusted with fingerprint powder; but it seemed highly improbable that such a methodical murderer had left behind any easily legible signature.
