Text Any textual data included in the document [page 1] Dear friends  I saw. by a Boston paper [?] that you were leaving the beloved pub [?]. by the steamer of the 28'. from N. Y. & rejoiced there at. in the hope that I might some where encounter you two [?] dear souls in England this summer. I did not know when to write to you or you would have had a note of +++ come awaiting your advent. Now. here yesterday I read [?]. The tiny note of JTF. written in a blank place as +++ note to him and dated april 26." why on earth it should have been sent from Boston  [page 2] by post on the 26. when you could have brought it on the 28" yourselves as far as England at least. "+++ +++ the will"- but I suppose the business one - thought it would be the quickest way for me to get it & what is quickest is best. on the 27" March. I wrote to Dr +++ posted it on the 30" – sent it with a package of letters to Mr Crow. and +++ posted them all on the 22dh [sic] of april to one of my letters sent to Boston by that same packet. I have an answer by this last steamer – dated april 26 the same date as your note. So I think +++. must have got the information he wanted. before you left. I told him therin that I had given the orders to Matthew & had had to advance him money on the work. I told Dr. +++ [page 3] that I was obliged to give 500 senti [?] which you know is more than dollars by $7.50. in the hundred--for the Mendelsohn [?] bracket & bust. with all the expense of casing & packing included & 250 Senti [?]. for the shuck [?]. which was less expensive. because already modelled. Dr +++ told me the society would give [?] him 500 dollars. & I heard that +++ Brown [?] had given $ 100 & Mrs Skinner [?] gave me. 250 dollars towards these 750 senti [?]. I hope Dr +++. does [?] not mean by this letter you have sent me. That N.[?] means to lessen the 500 he promised me from the society. by the 100 - which +++ Brown [?] gave him at my solicitation - and also I hope that when the things come to be finished Dr +++ +++ - will not leave me to pay the difference between 750 senti [?] gold & 750 dollars - for you know [page 4] that there is a difference by exchange between dollars in America & what makes a senti [?] here. However. you may hear something from Dr +++ before I get to England the middle of June. I shall try to see Miss Adams on my way Through Paris & have something of your movements - will you ask +++ - if he has not already got any - to have some copies of the thoughts of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius - sent out. I know a great many people who want them & they would sell. Oh I have such a quantity of things to tell you - but must wait until I can see you - with dear love to Annie. & +++ kindest regards from Emma Stebbins - Emma Cushman & self believe me ever faithfully Your Charlotte Cushman From The name and email address of the person sending the email Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 To The name(s) and email address(es) of the person to whom the email was sent Fields, James Thomas, 1817-1881 Location The location of the interview Rome, Italy Geocode (Latitude) 41.8933203 Geocode (Longitude) 12.4829321 Admin Comment Comments for further research, pending questions, tasks that still have to be completed Who is the doctor CC writes about? He presumably supported her in the payment of the bust of Mendelsohn. Since CC talks about a "society" and acquiring a book about Marcus Aurelius and selling it, maybe she acts on behalf of this society that aims to acquire historic items and sell them. Mendelsohn = the composer? --> would make sense since she is talking about acquiring various historic items like a book from Marcus Aurelius Senti could refer to the currency of Estonia or Tanzania which makes sense because she speaks in terms of exchange rates but the senti has only been introduced in the 20th century in both countries. Or maybe the term is just an outdated term for "cents". Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
