Text Any textual data included in the document [page 1] Dear friend Is this the way you suffer the paper in which you JTF [inserted] holds influence to deal with Emma? I think not — & after all that has been said in the NY Herald Evening Post. World. Mail & & on the first view of the fountain if any miserable jealous artist finds an opportunity to have a fling at it in the New York [page 2] papers. it ill [?, sic] becomes a Boston paper which once had a reputation for decency & honesty to print such a libellous thing as this which I enclose. I wish you would have some thing said in The Transcript which shall stultify the effect of the enclosed vileness — which evidently[?] has a personal sting. I have all the notices which have appeared in New York & if nothing else. You can perhaps have these copied, one by one, in the Transcript. & so destroy the effect of this dirty article. What statue that Em has made cannot be turned into [page 2 added vertically] ridicule by a dirty mind. I would not have Emma see this for the world. Let me know where to send these New York articles & I will forward them to you — for I am sure you will be as anxious as I. to do away with the impression this is likely to produce — When are you going to be able to come down to me for a few days. After the 14" June & before Aug 1st [last four words inserted], I shall have a room & dressing room to offer you. I have my brother & niece from England with me. where are you? How are you & what [page 3] are you just now. Here we have had not a drop of rain for 22 days until yesterday afternoon it rained an hour. The wind [?] is something tremendous in sleep under 2 Blankets most nights. one always. & all the windows closed! Dear Emma is up at Hyde Park missing her mother & sister – So I am without my "better half by half." Love to TT. & believe me Ever dearest Annie Affy [affectionately] Yours Charlotte Cushman My house is done!!!!!!!! [part of newspaper article enclosed] — New York is poking fun at Miss Stebbins's fountain in Central Park.
