Title A name given to the resource Letter from Emma Stebbins to Emma Crow Cushman, [Oct] 26, [1869] Description An account of the resource Stebbins writes about their strenuous journey to Malvern and the mishaps along the way. They had to stop over in Carlisle but have arrived safely in Stockport. She asks Emma Cushman to arrange for lodging in Malvern, preferably at Knotsford Lodge. <h3>Credit</h3> <a href="https://www.loc.gov/">Library of Congress</a>, Charlotte Cushman Papers, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.  Please note: Archivists have noted 'Aug 26' as the date but that is the date Cushman has her surgery (<a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/432">#432</a>) in Edinburgh. Furthermore, Aug 26, 1869, was not a Tuesday but Oct 26 was, which would make sense since <a href="https://archivalgossip.com/collection/items/show/433">#433</a> originates in the same location and writes about the same events.
