Title A name given to the resource Letter from Charlotte Cushman to James Fields, Aug 15, 1868 Description An account of the resource <a href="https://www.archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/1" title="Charlotte Cushman">Cushman</a> tells <a href="https://www.archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/59" title="James T. Fields">Fields</a> about her travel plans and how she will go to see the Crow family in St. Louis. She also notifies him of some books she wants him to send. Cushman discusses some financial issues about the books, asking whether his publishing house is willing to sell it to her for the "old trade price." Cushman describes <a href="https://www.archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/28" title="Anne Hampton Brewster">Anne Brewster</a> as a "brave woman" who will go to Italy. She visited Mr Seward. Cushman apologizes for having asked Fields to talk to Frothingham on her behalf. She addressed this issue in an earlier letter in <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/149">July</a>. In that earlier letter from July, Cushman also addressed Fields to ask him to publish an article about Hawthorne, which he has now apparently agreed to. <h3>Credit</h3> <a href="https://www.huntington.org/">Huntington Library</a>, James Thomas Fields Papers and Addenda Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Huntington, JTFP, Box 12, FI 694 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1868-08-15 Type The nature or genre of the resource Reference Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 0151 Subject The topic of the resource Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 Brewster, Anne Hampton, 1818-1892 Gender Norms Italy Fields, James Thomas, 1817-1881 Hawthorne, Nathaniel, 1804-1864 Finances Relationships--Networks financial concerns social capital travel/touring
