I would not have had you miss the show yesterday for anything, & I shall look for you tomorrow at the station through Emma Stebbins' eyes at 2.27. If anything happens to prevent you leaving as early as 10 o'clock from the station Great Western, Paddington, there is another train which leaves at 2.20 getting in here at 6.34 - so make your mind quite easy & don't bother about sending a telegram, unless you cannot come at all, & then, I can afford to wait until the next morning to know it by letter.
Somebody will meet you at the station, but in case of accidents, you will find an omnibus at the station which will bring you to the Abbey Hotel -- &
Your faithfully attached [?]
Charlotte Cushman
Send my kindest regards to Mr Elliot. I have never thanked him for all the beautiful things he said about me in the Galaxy, but I shall see him in London I hope. I am so glad you know my dear Miss Coates and are going to stay with her in Hampstead when we go to town. I think you could not do better than fix yourselves there.
