            <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;[page 1] Dear Annie&lt;br /&gt;You will have begun to think of me. as one "clean gone". That I have not sooner acknowledged &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;your kind missive of the 16" w&lt;sup&gt;h&lt;/sup&gt; [?, what] "came to hand in +++" as the merchants say--bringing a whiff of Manchester air. clear &amp;amp; healthy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;being [?]. It has laid &lt;span style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;open&lt;/span&gt; upon my writing book. which always means "to be first answered"--but I have been unusually occupied in the way of correspondence ever since I came here &amp;amp; one has +++ mother out. The more immediate. always, being answered first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;[page 2] &amp;amp; now with a double +++ determination. I sit down to scratch you just a line to say I am keeping alright, not going back. am eating &amp;amp; growing too fat. which seems to contradict the "malignancy" of the trouble which Mr Paget feared +++. I am all well enough when the weather is cool. but when it is warm. how then I suffer--in many ways. But God has been very merciful to me for I have never felt such a +++ in my life. so cool &amp;amp; nice. just now it has come--hot &amp;amp; muggy &amp;amp; I am under its influence. but towards the middle of the month we are going to Swampscott to dear Mrs Child &amp;amp; then we shall stand a chance of seeing you &amp;amp; Jamie. how is he getting on. doing a deal of walking &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I hope--or he will get too stout [?] to lecture--what do you think of that &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;[page 3] for impudence? How I shall like to hear him lecture. I left Hyde Park &amp;amp; my other half on the 7" of this month. came here on the 10. last week I went for three days to Providence. on the 8" I hope Emma S. will join me here. &amp;amp; on the 16 we hope to go to Swampscott. I want very much to make an excursion to the Isle of Shoals while we are there. Have you ever been - &amp;amp; would you go with us just for an "out". how nice it would be. Emma Cushman &amp;amp; her babies [?] are pretty well. The little ones bathe &amp;amp; look like pink sea shells. We are very comfortably settled here. &amp;amp; wish very much you could be tempted to run down &amp;amp; look at us here either before we go to Swampscott or after. I am busy getting a piece of land &amp;amp; Richard Hunt is building [?]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span&gt;[page 4] &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;me a house. which I hope will be done for next summer--&amp;amp; then &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;you will come &amp;amp; visit me-- wont [sic] you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;I thank you dear about the intelli&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;gence[?] from Mrs Orville Dewing[?]. I have been going on so safely &amp;amp; so well with &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Dr Howes [sic] advice that I have not been tempted by anything but this +++. which I am very anxious &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;yours should be converted to - but what [?] he +++ to believe in. However I do not despair of his being convinced in him. Newport is crammed &amp;amp; I am tired &amp;amp; want to get to +++ of more +++--tell me one thing. Do the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;lines in the "Adonais" of Shelly. begin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;ning at Stanza 31."midst others of less note!" &amp;amp; which go on for 4 Stanzas, refer to Byron? or who. Please tell me. +++ a dear--with love to both. believe me ever &amp;amp; always affectionately&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;Charlotte C.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</text>
