[page 1] Dear friends
I saw. by a Boston paper [?] that you were leaving the beloved pub [?]. by the steamer of the 28'. from N. Y. & rejoiced there at. in the hope that I might some where encounter you two [?] dear souls in England this summer. I did not know when to write to you or you would have had a note of +++ come awaiting your advent. Now. here yesterday I read [?]. The tiny note of JTF. written in a blank place as +++ note to him and dated april 26."" why on earth it should have been sent from Boston
[page 2] by post on the 26. when you could have brought it on the 28"" yourselves as far as England at least. ""+++ +++ the will""- but I suppose the business one - thought it would be the quickest way for me to get it & what is quickest is best. on the 27"" March. I wrote to Dr +++ posted it on the 30"" – sent it with a package of letters to Mr Crow. and +++ posted them all on the 22dh [sic] of april to one of my letters sent to Boston by that same packet. I have an answer by this last steamer – dated april 26 the same date as your note. So I think +++. must have got the information he wanted. before you left. I told him therin that I had given the orders to Matthew & had had to advance him money on the work. I told Dr. +++
[page 3] that I was obliged to give 500 senti [?] which you know is more than dollars by $7.50. in the hundred--for the Mendelsohn [?] bracket & bust. with all the expense of casing & packing included & 250 Senti [?]. for the shuck [?]. which was less expensive. because already modelled. Dr +++ told me the society would give [?] him 500 dollars. & I heard that +++ Brown [?] had given $ 100 & Mrs Skinner [?] gave me. 250 dollars towards these 750 senti [?]. I hope Dr +++. does [?] not mean by this letter you have sent me. That N.[?] means to lessen the 500 he promised me from the society. by the 100 - which +++ Brown [?] gave him at my solicitation - and also I hope that when the things come to be finished Dr +++ +++ - will not leave me to pay the difference between 750 senti [?] gold & 750 dollars - for you know
[page 4] that there is a difference by exchange between dollars in America & what makes a senti [?] here. However. you may hear something from Dr +++ before I get to England the middle of June. I shall try to see Miss Adams on my way Through Paris & have something of your movements - will you ask +++ - if he has not already got any - to have some copies of the thoughts of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius - sent out. I know a great many people who want them & they would sell. Oh I have such a quantity of things to tell you - but must wait until I can see you - with dear love to Annie. & +++ kindest regards from Emma Stebbins - Emma Cushman & self believe me ever faithfully
Your Charlotte Cushman
