Portrait of an older Elizabeth Emery Gates, grandmother of Bess Truman

Portrait of an older Elizabeth Emery Gates, grandmother of Bess Truman. This was found in a three way billfold with two other portraits of her. A handwritten note found behind the photo was from Bess Truman to her brother, Frank Wallace ("Frank, Mr. Avery sent this note with the picture and I know you will be interested in it. There was no charge. Sis"). There were also two notes from a Mr. Avery about a stamp (Internal Revenue, 3 cent) found with the photo. One of the notes says the photo was mailed in 1861, probably referring to photo 2009-1582.
