            <text>We make the following extract from one of Grace Greenwood's letter to the Era, dated at Lynn, where she has been spending a portion of the season: [...] &lt;br /&gt;To return to our Boston visit. In the evening, we went with a party of friends to see Charlotte Cushman as Meg Merrilies.&amp;nbsp; [...] It was throughout a magnificent display of power, and wrought one up to a fearful pitch of excitement.&amp;nbsp; [...] Miss Cushman is indeed a wonderful woman. Her acting has an almost superhuman strength, as well from her great physical vigor, as from the intensity of her passion. Her voice is the outgoing of an overmastering power, &lt;span class="st"&gt;– a wave of her arm has all the force of fate, her glance paralyzes and subdues. If ever an eye shot lightnings, hers does, in the scene where, as Meg Merrilies, she, with one awful look, arrests the descending blade of the smuggler. [...]&lt;/span&gt;</text>
