1Opinion of the Court

Carley, Judge.

Appellant appeals from her conviction of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

1. Appellant enumerates as error the admission into evidence of testimony concerning the contents of certain handwritten documents. She asserts that those writings were not properly authenticated. “A writing, alleged to be in the handwriting or signature of a party, is inadmissible unless the writing is proved or acknowledged to be genuine. [Cits.] The genuineness of the writing, however, may be proved by circumstantial evidence. [Cits.]” Gunter v. State, 243 Ga. 651, 657 (256 SE2d 341)…
