I would probably leave it as it is. One thing you may wish to consider: This was signed with some steel tipped writing instrument. The merely signing of the names on the wood would (?!-!!) leave an indentation. Even if you could find someone to remove the ink there would still be 'ghost' signatures visible in the varnish. If someone were to try to then remove the varnish to smooth out the wood and blend new varnish back into the original there would be a chance they could damage the Jennings signature. Probably a small chance, but worth considering.
