Jim, I must agree with George in as much as Hebrews has Paul's signature at 
the end as he does in all his letter.  Paul wrote,  2 Thess 3:17&18, I, Paul, 
write this greeting with my own hand, and this is a distinguishing mark in 
every letter; this is the way I write...."  You do the math.   This same mark 
is 
found at the conclusion of Hebrews.
