Risley, March 26, 1869 Description An account of the resource Again, Charlotte Cushman writes to Risley thanking him for his support in the Quarry investment and reports about the font shipping. The beloved friend that she repeatedly mentions in these letters is probably William H. Seward who retires from his position of Secretary of State at that time and moves to Auburn. She also voices her anxiety about the financial investment as she depends on it for income: "what means I have saved by my labours must be so invested as to pay me an interest or income. so that I am always anxious to have it so invested — while those with larger means are enabled to wait the result of investments. taking things 'in the long run.'" <h3>Credit</h3> <a href="https://find.library.duke.edu/catalog/DUKE000873709">Hanson A.
