Here I am, dearest friend, very comfortably "located" as we say, & waiting for you to come. I don't think you can do better than put yourself into the train at the Great Western [?] station at 10:00 on Saturday morning next, & at 2:40 I will have you met at the Great Malvern Station. We had better no promise what day you will return to London, as it is a little uncertain what day we go in the following week, but you shall be restored to your friends by the end of the week.
I have borne my journeys wonderfully. I seem to have brought good weather to Malvern for the sun shines enough in the middle of the day for me to get an hours drive.
I was speaking to Dr. Sully again about you last Evening & I remember you with great pleasure, so you will be renewing an acquaintance. Don't say you can't come on Saturday, unless you will be giving up some pleasant Engagement , & then I will say come when it will be agreeable to yourself. I want to see you very much & I want you to see Malvern. Miss Stebbins joins me in kindest love to you. She is not very well, her own anxiety about me has broken her down but come & see & believe me ever as I am,
Your faithfully attached [?]
Charlotte Cushman
