Values for correspodence of this type depend a great deal on who sent them and their signatures, each one having it's own individual value. You'd really need to has them examined by a Specialist that deals in autographs and documents to determine their values.
Re: Can anyone give me an approximate value of my historical ...
You wil have to sit on it to realise its value, someday sometime someone will be lookingĀ for such an item, it couldĀ be a historian for which the value may not be as great asĀ it would be to support a political cause or a collector,Ā but as time goes by it will appreciate in value, and as the earlier writer put it it also depends on the signatures on the paper.
I'd really like to take a look at them though,Ā if you couldĀ have them scanned and placed on a web page for us to view or if you could send it to me via email.
here in Malaysia the government has a right to such papers if it concerns Malaysian History in any way.
In the states you are lucky you coudl hold your government to ransom if they want it.
