Text Any textual data included in the document How can I say to you what I feel as the trust you have reposed in me? Thanks are too poor a recompense, &amp; love is only worth, as it is given for love's sake only, so though I do love you I do thank you very dearly, I will only say, how I will cherish &amp; prize your gift = for it brings me not only your mind &amp; its fruits, but it brings me your physical self, in this labour, albeit one of love, of your hand, head &amp; heart. I have then your heart bodily as well as in that other sweet comforting way.<br /><br />Ought I not to feel rich at finding myself so estimated? Yes, I ought and yes, dear, I know myself so much better than you know me: know that I am not really all you think I am: know that I do not merit the high place you have given me: know that I am not a fitting "Shrine whereon to lay your odorous incense:" know that but for the beautiful drapery which your poetical imagination has thrown around me, I should be, as I am, bare &amp; unworthy, only a practical common sense person, whom God has mercifully blessed by a vocation, that vocation being a willing &amp; anxious helpmate to those who may want her, letting herself go, to help as she may be able, actively or passively!<br /><br />I have looked only casually through your beautiful [?], at your Eyes, your hands, your [digestion?], how they have worked in this work for me, what have I done, that they should be thus exercised for me? What?<br /><br />Darling, <br />I have written these two notes to Miss Cobb &amp; Madame Venturi. I have spoken to them both about you, but it may be sometime before you deliver these notes, and I have brought you to their minds again in a way, which makes musical the Envelopes! You will see a good many curious people through Mad. Venturi (an English woman married to an Italian, now a widow, but so [clever?], under an awkward outside) a worshipper of Carlyle [Maggini?] &amp; all the [Gods?] so, value her) ask her if she knows any way through which first for love of me &amp; then you, she can contrive to let you see George Elliot [sic].<br /><br />Write to me a line dear to Hotel [Brighton?] telling me what you have done at Malvern. I wrote to Dr Sully last night telling him about the Elliots &amp; your bringing them to him for help. You must make a little love to the Dr. he is very susceptible &amp; not at all troublesome. I never tried this, because I have always been too old, but I know those who have - successfully! God bless you, darling, get well &amp; strong &amp; believe me ever &amp; ever your faithfully loving <br />Charlotte C- From The name and email address of the person sending the email Cushman, Charlotte Saunders, 1816-1876 To The name(s) and email address(es) of the person to whom the email was sent Jackson, Helen Hunt, 1830-1885 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
