Text Any textual data included in the document [page 1] Dear friends I had a note from the talking Mary Emmons. This morning. which gives me a little panic of terror that she may have been indulging herself at the expense of my well being--in representing me to my friends in Boston who love & care for me. as [page 2] being other than I am--and as she says no over here of her note "I wrote to Mrs Fields & she came to see me & said so & so. & so & so. I took a sort of fright which just makes me send off this note. by Mrs Child who has been with me since Monday & +++ me this afternoon. in the hope that it may get to you tonight--& that you & Jamie may be able to come [page 2 added vertically] down tomorrow afternoon & stay with me over Sunday. I am not going to stay at Mr Emmons. if I do go to Boston at the end of my stay here. Though I hear from Emily Liver [?], who came down last night--that Mrs E. has had a bed brought into her library. That Miss Cushman may be comfortable when she goes to her! Did you ever hear such stuff. it frightens me from going to Boston, at all--where I had promised [page 3] +++ & William Hunt. That I would go to them for two days en route to New York Do come tomorrow afternoon & on to Jamie. ever your attached friend Charlotte Cushman From The name and email address of the person sending the email Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 To The name(s) and email address(es) of the person to whom the email was sent Fields, Annie, 1834-1915 Location The location of the interview Newport, RI, US Geocode (Latitude) 41.4899827 Geocode (Longitude) -71.3137707 Admin Comment Comments for further research, pending questions, tasks that still have to be completed This woman told CC that she had talked to Mrs Fields and then she mentions that Mrs. E. had something brought into her library to make Miss Cushman comfortable and now CC is afraid to go there/to Boston (which doesn’t make sense to me because she doesn’t mention what exactly happened between the women) Maybe the Hunt in question is Helen Hunt Jackson or anybody relating to her. CC writes to Annie and talks about James in the third person yet begins the letter with "dear friends". This appears to be the case in multiple letters and therefore just a form of greeting.
