Description

Clara Barton

Teacher and humanitarian (1821–1912) best known for organizing the relief organization the American Red Cross. ALS signed “C,” one page both sides, 5.25 x 6.5, July 5, 1906. Letter to Maureen. In part: “How sorry I am to know you are so weak and ill—I had hoped you were better…I seem to get no news to tell you but sad things so many people that I know getting into an accident, or killed. A card comes this morning that Mr. Pullman has ‘entered into rest’ in Los Angeles. You heard of the instantaneous killing of Mrs. Carperal Tanner by an auto in Montana. I won’t tell any more there may be too much!” In fine condition, with a couple light brushes to text. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
