Inscription on verso: "Century ambrotype-or as I call it-the Magie ambrotype-made in the morning of 12-day 12 as L. wrote the questions he __founded to Douglas at the __fort debate, for J.K. Magie, who was with L on that trip of debates. Copy was given to me for private use by R.W. Gilder, who owns original ambrotypes. I send you this copy for your private use. J.H.Barttett. 7 or 8 years since I sent to Gilder copies of my photo with the promise from him that he would do the same by me. He has not kept his promise, & I got this only after sharp protest. H.W. Fay." Notation on verso: "1896." Inscription on recto: "1858 at Maco__."
