            <text>Dear Sir: - I received yesterday from Miss Emma Stebbins a letter from you in which you give her Osgood’s proposition, with regard to the memoirs. I have since been trying to see my way clearly, to be able to give you what counsel I can.[…]&lt;br /&gt;The thing that disturbs me [..] is the lack of material, and in the event of insufficient material, do you feel sufficient confidence to push the thing through. I only bring forward these views, as I am unable to assume any pecuniary responsibility to Mr. Osgood, in the even of you’re and Miss S.’s failure to bring the book to completion, though ill health, or insufficient material, or want of time in which to complete it. I trust you will pardon me for bringing up such possibility. but I know how Mr. Osgood would feel, and the step he would probably take, should the book not be completed from any cause. He would say, Miss Cushman’s estate is good &amp;amp; they must reimburse me for the outlay I have been at – at least, such would I think […] Pray excuse my suggestions they came from E.C. Cushman, Trustee [underlined], a heartless being, who has to account to other trustees, who in turn have to account to a probate court, &amp;amp; give good reasons, and vouchers, for all expenditures of whatsoever nature”</text>
