Title A name given to the resource Letter from Mary Devlin Booth to Emma Crow Cushman, Feb 26, 1862 Description An account of the resource Mary Devlin Booth writes to Emma Cushman about her health, exercise, her baby, their life in London, their cottage, her request for news of Boston, and other matters. Mary Booth mentions her  precious friendship with Charlotte Cushman and her deep sympathy for the actress. Mary mentions Emma's "misfortune last spring" (page 2). Apparently, Emma asked Mary what to expect when giving birth in a former letter. Mary recommends outdoor exercise, tells Emma about problems with her breasts since she was not able to nurse her daughter. Mary calls the child that Emma is expecting "little Charlotte" (page 4). She is glad to hear that Charlotte Cushman is in better health (page 6) and mentions Miss Field and the London exhibition. <h3>Credit</h3> <a href="http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/browse?collection=3">Louise and Barry Taper Collection</a> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Louise and Barry Taper Collection, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1862-02-26 Type The nature or genre of the resource Reference Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Booth, Mary Devlin, 1840-1863 Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 0484 Subject The topic of the resource Cushman, Emma Crow, 1839-1920 Booth, Mary Devlin, 1840-1863 Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 Illness England--London Friendship Relationships-- Intimate--Same-sex London public intimacy social capital
