Clara Barton (1821-1912), nurse and philanthropist replies to an inquiry for a photo, presumably of herself. She explains that as soon as she receives the photos, she will send some along. The allusion to "engravers" refers to photogravure, a popular mode of reproducing photographic portraiture at the time.
