First lady of the Confederacy. Wife of Jefferson Davis, who acted as his personal secretary. Many of Davis's ALSs are mistaken as authentic due to the similar appearance of their writing. Varina's letters are signed with a characteristic dot at the end of Davis. She also was an author, she wrote the 2 volume biography Jefferson Davis, Ex President of the Confederacy. Signature, "Very respectfully, Varina Davis. 1904." on 5 x 4 inch sheet. Excellent. (#WMN3104)
