Text Any textual data included in the document [p. 1] My Dear Friend, <br />Since the reception of your letter, I have made a change of base as you see above, and am now established in my little cottage, with +++ +++ and my good Sallie for companions. Not better yet for the change of air, though hoping to be - I found excessive heat her as at Hyde Park and was hardly equal to the journey - The first three days were trying in many ways, living in a house which has been closed for more than a year, is not easy at first - but with time and patience, everything comes around - a delicious change of temperature has come for one thing &amp; now it is more like the climate of the Berkshire Hills - and I hope in looking up where I may find help - which I have done before, but my decline, as I look back upon it, has been so slow but steady - that it is hoping against hope. <br /><br />[p. 2] I note your suggestion about Dr. Mitchell - his method is not unknown to me. If I still continue in this +++ helpless way when the summer is over and my boy goes back to college, I will think seriously about consulting him, though I fear the expense will be beyond my present means. Do you know anything about his charges? Or could you find out for me from this friend you speak of? I should like to know if I could choose my own abiding [?] place, and have Sallie to take care of me. in that case I might do it. Thanks for all your say about the Book - I do not desire better - and you may criticise it all you will. I know well it is open to much - though it has ben mercifully praised. Osgood sent me a thick package of notices, from all parts of the country <br /><br />[p. 3] and I was surprised to see how favorable they were. But the best I get is from private sources - from her friends and mine - +++ know how sweet they are. Upon the whole I am ++++ satisfied than I have been by anything of my own doing, though it has come through difficulties which you can hardly dream of. I hope you will write to me sometimes and do not let your letters be all about my only - I am interested in your doings and thinkings and yourself and am always,<br />faithfully yours,<br />ES From The name and email address of the person sending the email Stebbins, Emma, 1815-1882 To The name(s) and email address(es) of the person to whom the email was sent Whitney, Anne, 1821-1915 Location The location of the interview Lenox, MA Geocode (Latitude) 42.356475 Geocode (Longitude) -73.2848289 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
