TLS, one page, 8.25 x 10.75, The American National Red Cross letterhead, December 12, 1895. Letter to Francis Edward Clark. In part: “It is by no means certain what any one can accomplish, but it is certainly a task which could not be undertaken in any ordinary way. If it be especially given to our organization, the demand upon us is all the more imperative for this. The general call of the people of the country is so great as to be well-nigh oppressive. To what extent the way may open to us remains to be seen. I should think a very few days would make that apparent. Sympathy such as your offer will be needed on every hand, if the work be undertaken. It remains for the people to see to what extent their desires can be made tangible upon a field, not only of such suffering, but of such cost.” Overall wrinkling and scattered toning, otherwise fine condition.
