A small card, measuring 4.75" x 3", Melrose, Massachusetts, dated January 12, 1884. Signed "Mary A. Livermore/ Melrose, Mass./ Jan'y 13, 1884." The card has been mounted onto a slightly larger card, measuring 4.875" x 3.25" overall. With light foxing. Boldly signed.

Mary Livermore (1820-1905) was an American journalist, abolitionist, and advocate of women's rights. When the Civil War broke out, she joined the United States Sanitary Commission, performing various tasks such as organizing auxiliary societies, visiting hospitals and military posts, contributing to the press, answering correspondence, etc. She also helped organize a fair in 1863 in Chicago, which raised nearly US$100,000 and funded the building of the Soldiers' Home. During peacetime, Livermore founded a suffrage paper called "The Agitator", which was later merged with the "Woman's Journal".

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
