You are in a bad way just now? &amp;amp; no wonder; you have had enough to drive to distraction a whole regiment of men let alone women [...] your depression and discouragement, your weariness and vexation of spirit, are in a great measure the result - of all the superhuman exertions you have had to go through for the last few months. Living in London society does, under any circumstances, make one exquisitely sad, and you have had its essence, doubly and trebly distilled and powerful. . . . The life you have led, the success, the acclamations, the perfect glare of triumph in which you have moved for the last few months, are almost fabulous. No nervous system that was ever born of woman could stand it ; you are a perfect miracle in my eyes, but you are proving your mortality by suffering [...] but don’t go making a grievance for people who don’t deserve it [...] If you really love them there must be something good in them [...] has stood by me for 12 years in spite of everything [...] but she considered on the whole that I was worth it [...] fierce things that have been said to us both to shake our faith in each other she has been as true as steel to me … &amp;amp; throw overboard several other people [...] Give my love to Susan”</text>

              <text>Jewsbury was told by Cushman that they would see each other again soon. She in turn mentions the stressful times Cushman had been having, telling her to rest up and warning her not to make grievances for those that don't deserve it. Furthermore, Jewsbury writes about a letter she received from Mrs. Paulet, who has stood by her for 12 years, saying she really wants to meet Cushman before she left London. Otherwise Cooke, Thomas Carlyle and his wife are mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
