Condition: Fine. A 1907 manuscript written and signed by American Red Cross Founder Clara Barton, dated 1907. This hand-written piece is matted and framed along with a portrait of Barton. The Civil War nurse writes - "Thomas Jefferson in alluding to slavery - said "I tremble when I remember that God is just / Clara Barton. / May… 5, 1907".

Barton's handwriting is crisp and clear, as is her signature, Framed and matted, this piece measures approximately 12" X 9" and would make a fine centerpiece to any Barton, Medical, or Black Americana collection.
