Text Any textual data included in the document Dearie, are you ill? Are you vexed? Are you disappointed in me & my doings? Or what is the matter that I have had no word from you in answer to my very hurried pencil note written on the 10", just as I was leaving New York, to say to you how glad I should be if you would arrange with the "Riggs" that I should have his room for six weeks or two months, as the case might be, at $65 per week including everything for Miss Stebbins Sallie & self. By hearing nothing from you I have been afraid that my letter may have gone astray, or you have turned another somersault & my letter missed you. Will you give me some sign, like a dear, & let me know what is the matter. If it is all right that I go to the Riggs, did you understand for how much I could have another room with fire, a sunny bedroom, with board at my table, for one person, or can this be ascertained without giving you as great a wilderness of trouble, as I have already given you before. I am so anxious, dear, to see the little book, & I cannot get a copy of the 'note of Welcome' for love or money. Where are you? Where are you? Respondi di prego carissima mia." What a long translation is that sonnet of Petrarch by the gallant Col. I read it last night with intense pleasure. My hand is better thank you but I am a good for naught & am trembling to pieces, though I look well. Emma Cushman has had a letter from Dr. Sully. Mr. Dabney has had two hemorrhages & is very poorly. Mr. Elliot is at Hampstead with the [Neils?], not quite well. Miss Coates & Miss James very well! I am sending this out on such an uncertainty that I cannot write more, only begging you to believe that I am anxious to know why you are so silent. & that I am ever, with kindest love from both of us, your ever faithfully attached C.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 Location The location of the interview Hyde Park NY, US Geocode (Latitude) 41.7847232 Geocode (Longitude) -73.9332461 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
