Text Any textual data included in the document Dear Mrs Hunt. I am afraid you will get to London, without finding this little word you asked me for, & that thought troubles me much. But the truth is, retribution has about overtaken me - for the overstrain which has been put upon heart & brain & nerves, during all this miserably anxious time. I thought I must be made of rum & so I was so busy as the need lasted, but as soon as the tension was relaxed, I broke down and so have been very weak & poorly and been obliged to neglect my correspondence. I cannot quite make out from your letters exactly when you expect to be in London - but if you are with the Elliotts, you will have heard some late news of me, through a note I wrote to Charles E. - some little time ago - sent through Barings - which has never yet been acknowledged. - That spoke of slow but steady improvement and now I am so happy to be able to tell you that each day my patient returns more & more into normal condition of well people. She has been sitting up for seven days, and walking a very little - & to day for the first time she stood a moment or two at the window & looked out on busy Princes St. and the gardens opposite. & the green slopes & craggy manes of the Castle Hill - She is very weak but she is less changed than you could suppose - after all she has passed through -, we begin to talk again of the future, & of plans & movement but not yet of fixed times - as soon as we can see - from here - we are getting as far as Manchester, and rest in that neighborhood, at a friends house some days - then we get to Malvern, where Miss Cushman & the children are - & where we shall remain possibly a fortnight - then we shall get to see some friends near London - your dear self among them and by that time we hope to be able to wend our way toward Rome - You, I suppose, don't look in that direction. - The Roman pilgrims are all wending their way there now, Annie Gordon is at Venice. Mrs Whittle at Florence - my sister gets back from Sorento on the 10th. It seems far away from us yet - but every day it looks nearer, God be thanked for all his mercies! Let us hear from you soon, that we may know where to find you. When we get to London - or why would it not be a nice [stiring?] for you to take a little trip to Malvern while we are there? Think of it - & let us know. - With ... & kind remembrances to the Elliotts - I am ever Affect.ly yours, Emma Stebbins From The name and email address of the person sending the email Stebbins, Emma, 1815-1882 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 Clarendon Hotel.
