Title A name given to the resource Letter from Charlotte Cushman to Emma Crow Cushman, Aug 24, 1869 Description An account of the resource Cushman's leg is well enough for Sir James to leave her. However, she is to rest in bed so that the wound can heal properly. She is very anxious that her breast cancer will return, but Dr. Gray is optimistic it will not once the gland is removed. Uncles Charles will visit Cushman but she does not think it worthwhile for Ned to visit as well since she would be in no state to keep him company before leaving Edinburgh. She also thinks it would be best for Emma to remain with her children. <h3>Credit</h3> Library of Congress, Charlotte Cushman Papers, Manuscript Division, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C.
