            <text>With my own hand, clothed &amp;amp; in my right mind, I am allowed to write you this little word of loving thanks for all your sweet thoughtfulness of &amp;amp; for me during this my time of trial! - for such it has been. Seven weeks I lay in bed. Three weeks I have been up getting strength, by all ways I could to make a journey yesterday which I accomplished with ease, from Edinburgh here. I was well packed up, &amp;amp; supplied with all the appliances of travel so that I came here without fatigue &amp;amp; keeping even in my bed until mid-day today, I am rested! So far, I am well on my way southward. On Saturday I hope to get to Malvern &amp;amp; as soon as I do get there &amp;amp; see what accommodations I have, I shall want you to come down to pay me a visit! I shall be there a fortnight &amp;amp; if you come, it will not necessary to break up you home with the Elliots, but you can kill two birds with one stone, give me a pleasure &amp;amp; see what you think of Malvern have some chat some day with Dr. Sully, &amp;amp; look at the land generally with reference to some future sojourn there, for healing. You will then go up to London with me when I go &amp;amp; we will have a good time! I shan't take 'No', &amp;amp; you shall hear from me further. This will be the only &amp;amp; the last chance of my seeing you for when I am in London it will only be for a week or so, &amp;amp; I am out at Hampstead. (Nora Trembley) &amp;amp; at [Hornsey?], if you can call that being in London. I have so much to say to you, which I cannot write, for I am as yet [? ?]. hideous with regard to writing, which has to be done upon my knee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you know half how sweetly all your lovely sayings to me &amp;amp; of me, fall upon my heart? I don't believe you do, but I am very grateful for them!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am so glad you have come to England. You will be strong &amp;amp; well here, &amp;amp; the very smoke &amp;amp; fog of London will help you. But I shall tell you about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Goodbye dear - let me hear a word from you here up to Friday next - after which to Great Malvern-Worcestershire as I don't yet know where Emma Cushman will find our lodgings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ever believe me your loving&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Charlotte Cushman&lt;br /&gt;Kindest regards to your friends &amp;amp; mine Elliots</text>
