Title A name given to the resource Letter from Charlotte Cushman to Mary Emmons, [Feb] 17, 1871 Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1871-02-17 Description An account of the resource Cushman "get[s] a little panic of horror from" a note of Mary, who is Emma Crow's sister, since she probably has talked to people about Cushman's "present state of mind (&body)," which gives Cushman "excessive pain & mortification." Cushman prefers to keep this information private. She considers this part of "family confidence." The letter could be dated to Feb 17 because of the letter from Charlotte Cushman to Annie Fields, <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/162">Feb 17, 1871</a>, in which Cushman talks about Mary's note as well, fearing that Mary "may have been indulging herself at the expense of my well being." <h3>Credit</h3> <a href="https://repository.wellesley.edu/islandora/search?type=dismax&f%5B0%5D=mods_name_corporate_department_namePart_ms%3AWellesley%5C%20College%5C%20Special%5C%20Collections">Wellesley College Special Collections</a> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived <a href="https://repository.wellesley.edu/islandora/search?type=dismax&f%5B0%5D=mods_name_corporate_department_namePart_ms%3AWellesley%5C%20College%5C%20Special%5C%20Collections">Wellesley College Special Collections</a>, <a href="https://repository.wellesley.edu/collections/autograph-letters-collection">Autograph Letters Collection</a>, WCSC_MS_ALS_00877 Type The nature or genre of the resource Reference Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 0616 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 Subject The topic of the resource Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 Gossip--Private Illness Cushman, Emma Crow, 1839-1920 Fields, Annie, 1834-1915 breach of privacy gossip--unpublished
