&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;My dear Emma &lt;br /&gt;we did not forget you yr birth or wedding on Monday but brought out the Champagne &amp;amp; even to Nino drank to the many &amp;amp; happy return[?] of the time to you &amp;amp; Ned—yesterday yrs of 2&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt; from Tremont was[?] rec&lt;sup&gt;d&lt;/sup&gt; &amp;amp; we feel quite anxious abt Miss C. as Mr Lamb said last night the lump under the arm &amp;amp; swelling of arm was a symptom which was very alarming &amp;amp; her leg is also quite a symton [sic]—I do hope you &amp;amp; she &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;[2990 reverse] may be able to get a place soon for I fear that She may be taken quite ill some where &amp;amp; not be able to move &lt;br /&gt;If you think it will accomplish the object &amp;amp; can get a house at Newport that She will come to you at, you may[?] it &lt;br /&gt;it will accomplish it say I will pay The Summer's rent on board as the case may be. I will not hesitate to do so for you to have a place where she can be quiet &amp;amp; comfortable with you as I think she is entitled to such a place the last few weeks or months of her life—If it would aid in such &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;[2991] a laudable result, I think I would almost come on myself to assist in the matters— You will know how to introduce &amp;amp; present the matter if it seems feasible or necessary,–I am sure she must be in a very excitable State &amp;amp; I think ought not to be subject to the spiritualistic influences— The Children are now well—Carlino has had quite a cold as many have the weather is like summer, &amp;amp; it is hard to keep +++ +++ colds— but his teeth helped to give him a cough &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
