Text Any textual data included in the document Carina<br /><br />Here I am suddenly &amp; unexpectedly back in New York in bed, on my back, with such a little Finger of my right hand as never yet was seen, atomically it is my little finger, but to look at it, you would say How can it be? But so it is. For the last week I have been suffering with it, hoping each day it w d be better, but yesterday [morn?] it was so much worse that in a kind of terror, I came up [or?] down to N York. This morning the finger has been opened &amp; I can but hope that with the treatment &amp; poultices it will be better - meanwhile I must send you one line in reply to yours of the 5, rec'd yesterday morning. It is just this, my precarious state, dear, which prevents my engaging myself to anything for long at a time. Even 6 months is too long, so if you cannot find it convenient to arrange for rooms for me beforehand, for that length of time, I must just do what I can, at the moment I am able to go. You fix yourself where you will be comfortable, &amp; then when the End of all things (for this year) comes, you will find something for me which even though it should not be so nice as Riggs, will yet do for us sufficiently well for the time being. If the Browntons will wait for me until early in Jany, &amp; take me for 6 weeks sure, possibly (for in my present state all things are possible) longer, I will give up on the more elegant but high-priced Riggs. I cannot write more dear my hand pains me with even this Exertion. Write to me here for I may be detained some days here. I am with friends who are taking good care of me. I was not able to get in, to the house of my kinswoman for she has let all her rooms. Sallie is with me, but my other &amp; much better half [= Emma Stebbins] is still at Hyde Park.<br /><br />God bless you<br />Every your faithfully attached<br />C.C.

As we already have a transcribed letter from Dec 6, 1869, I guess that this one here is from 1870, also, she is in the US and she only comes back in 1870 Extended Date/Time Format (EDTF) Specification Standardized Data for Dates according to http://www.loc.gov/standards/datetime/ ?1870-12-06 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
