Curatorial Note:

John Connally's shaky signature was a result of having to sign letters and documents with his left hand. The right-handed governor's right hand was severely wounded when the bullet that struck him while seated in front of President Kennedy also passed through the top of his wrist and out the bottom, and then embedded in his left thigh. - Gary Mack, Curator
