Anybody knows what the “sd” means after his signature?

  Initials of who typed up the letter. Standard practice back then. I learned about it in H.S. typing class in the late 80s Edit: s/resume/letter/g

    Ditto! We had big dumb noisy electromechanical typewriters in my Typing 9 class, and then upgraded to some kind of semi-smart typewriter for Typing 10 that had a small buffer so that you could type+correct one line but it wouldn't print until you pressed the return/enter key. They only taught us a couple weeks of word processing on computers. Microsoft Works, if I recall correctly.

  Perhaps the initials of the person who typed it. In most business contexts at the time, something like "ABC/jed" at the end meant a secretary/assistant with initials "JED" typed something for a manager/employee with initials "ABC."
