Since Cushman had already met Sir James at the time of this letter, she must have been in Edinburgh (=location) and the letter must have been written between August 26 and 31. In <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/admin/items/show/id/896">#896</a>, Cushman talks about the straps being removed from her breast and about Ned remaining in America, which would place the letter after the surgery and after <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/admin/items/show/904">#904</a>. But the only remaining Wednesday during this timeframe would be Aug 26, which would not make any sense unless the surgery was dated wrong by Cushman/had been brought forward. This letter must have been written one day before <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/admin/items/show/id/896">#896</a> as her doctor "[told her] to put on [her] corsets tomorrow", which she mentions doing in <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/admin/items/show/id/896">#896</a>.
