Barton, Clara (1821-1912). Founder of the American Red Cross. ALS, 1p, 4.625 x 8 in., " Washington, DC " May 19, 1865. Addressed to Mrs. Cornelia Wilbur of Genesee County, NY. Wilbur had previously inquired about the whereabouts of her missing son, and here Barton replies, asking for " the number of the Artillery to which your son was attached ."
Records indicate that Mrs. Wilbur's son, John R. Wilbur, enlisted as a private at age 18 on December 28, 1862. He was mustered into Company F, 13th New York Heavy Artillery on January 21, 1864 and was later transferred to Company M. Unfortunately, Barton would have the unpleasant task of reporting that Private Wilbur died of disease on April 16, 1865 in Norfolk, VA.Creasing as expected, with several dark stains.Condition
