Lot of 2 Barton, Clara (1821-1912). Founder of the American Red Cross. ALS while President of the Red Cross, "Betsey's welcome to her anticipated sister." July 31, 1876. Barton authors a clever poem for a new "sister." A stanza reads, May is show to you clear, that you've found your true speah And serenely revolve in your orbit. And never regret the day nor the yeah, That your name became Abigail Borbet. Barton, Clara (1821-1912). Founder of the American Red Cross. ALS as honorary President of the National First Aid Association of America, 4 p., "Glen Echo, MD." February 4, 1906. Addressed to Roscoe. She discusses with Roscoe tasks associated with running her new organization. According to the American Red Cross, "Clara Barton began teaching school at a time when most teachers were men and she was among the first women to gain employment in the federal government. Barton risked her life to bring supplies and support to soldiers in the field during the Civil War. At age 60, she founded the American Red Cross in 1881 and led it for the next 23 years. Her understanding of the needs of people in distress and the ways in which she could provide help to them guided her throughout her life. By the force of her personal example, she opened paths to the new field of volunteer service. Her intense devotion to serving others resulted in enough achievements to fill several ordinary lifetimes." She never married and disagreements within the organization forced Barton to retire in 1904. Afterwards, she attempted to establish a new organization, National First Aid Association of America and acted as its honorary president for five years (http://www.redcross.org/about-us/history/clara-barton). Condition: Typical folds and light toning of the poem.
