Title A name given to the resource Transcript of Letter from Emma Stebbins to Sidney Lanier, Feb 18, 1877 Description An account of the resource It is the anniversary of Charlotte Cushman's death. Emma Stebbins is disillusioned since she has not heard back from England, for instance. Hence, the collection of material for writing the memoir is exhausting and takes a long time. Sallie supports Emma with her memories of Charlotte. Emma is able to grant Lanier a loan which he requested the prior year.
