Pen trials are quite common. They do occasionally include personal notes and often the name of the writer, alphabets, embellished letters, sometimes hearts with perhaps the name of a beloved, sometimes little sketches. They are often at the beginnings or ends of manuscripts, occasionally top or bottom, not so often on the sides.
Most pen trials are just letters and squiggles, but some have interesting tidbits.
