KEMPER, JAMES LAWSON (1823-95) Confederate Major General; Severely wounded in Pickett’s Charge at Gettysburg – July 3, 1863; Governor of Virginia – 1874-78; Veteran of the Mexican War

Document Signed, Richmond, Virginia, February 6, 1886, “J.L. Kemper,” a partly printed 2 ½” x 8” check, also accomplished by Kemper, payable to “Cha[rle]s J. Kemper,” thus incorporating a second partial signature; drawn on The State Bank of Virginia for one hundred dollars.  The reverse is endorsed by Charles J. Kemper.

Very good overall, with light vertical fold creases; minimal loss of paper from barely noticeable cross-cut and punch cancellations which intersect Kemper’s signature.
