Who was the writer of Hand D ?Christopher Marlowe! A poet who had to give up his identity and name, to conceal himself and write under pseudonyms... e.g. Alias Drayton? alias Shakespeare and many others....)
unimaginable, unbelievable, ridiculous ? yes! ..... for ignorants.....
Charles Hamilton (1914–1996) paleographer, handwriting expert and author of historical works in his book "In Search of Shakespeare" (1985) fashioned a "handwriting composition" by alternating lines from a) "Hand-D"(yellow) with lines from b) Shake-speare's "Will". (green).(s.also Blog 273)
He concluded that "beyond any reasonable doubts", both hands resulted from the same author. - s.Faksimile below) How can that be?  S John Wards Notebook ...Be aware, that there is evidence from John Ward's Notebook that a month prior to Shakspear's death 1616 "Shakspear, Drayton and Ben Jonson had a merry meeting and, it seems drank too hard for Shakespear died of a feavour there contracted.".....(s.Faksimile)
What on earth Drayton had do in Stratford ?
Be also aware that a month prior to his death Shakspere (Stratford) signed the draft of his will. Someone else [not William of Stratford] must have written it down.
Since the handwriting of "Shakspere's" will is identical to the hand D of the anonymous play "Sir Thomas More" (compare white and yellow line sections, ) you may come to the conclusion that the assumed writer of Hand D ("Shake-speare") was the writer of the will , but it was not William of´Stratford.- - (Drayton must be discussed as early penname of the true poet. (study a bunch of plausible arguments blog 324,).-
The physician John Hall, son-in-law of Shakespear (Stratford) made notes in his case books (Latin) on his patients, and so when treating Master Drayton, (an excellent Poet!) , he did mention Drayton ? but why never ever his father-in-law William Shakspere ?
