There is a period ink inscription on the back that reads \u201cWith the most respectful complements of James Simons\u2026.\u201d There is something after Simons that is hard to read. This is possibly James Simons Jr. who was an American lawyer, politician, and newspaper president from South Carolina. He served as Speaker of the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1882 to 1890 and as a member of the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1878 to 1891. Also on August 22, 1861, Simons enlisted in the Confederate States Army as a first lieutenant of company A, Artillery Battalion, Hampton League. There is also a date on the back which reads April, but the year has a smudge and we can\u2019t quite decipher the date. It is in excellent minus condition with strong tones and contrast.
