SIGNATURE, CLIPPED FROM AN AUTOGRAPH ALBUM, “J.W. Menzies / Covington / Kentucky,” on a slip, 2 x 4 inches, affixed to a sheet if heavier paper, 9 x 6 inches
A native of Bryan Station, Menzies graduated from the University of Virginia in 1840, read law, and began a practice in Covington in 1841, serving in the state legislature before his election to a term in the U.S. House of Representatives as a Unionist, 1861-1863. Very good. More
