Cushman has received a favorable reply from George Combe in which he calmed her down in terms of the reputational damage that Combe implied in his first letter to the actress which put her in distress earlier.

Dear Mr Combe.
A thousand thanks for your kind & welcome note of yesterday. I was in much trouble about what you had written to me. This. has in a great measure relieved me. I have very nearly finished reading the articles in the Journal & hesitate to talk[?, take] them away for the little that remains unread lest some mischance should come to them. I shall be able

[31 reverse] to get them in some London library. when I shall have more time to peruse [?] them carefully In the mean time. pray accept. My most earnest thanks for your Kindness. A "press of business" as the commercial people say. has prevented my having the pleasure of calling upon you. but I hope upon again visiting Edinburgh to be able to see much more of you. Pray commend me most

[32] kindly to Mrs Combe & with my sisters [sic] best regards.
& believe me. Dear Mr Combe
Ever most faithfully
Yours
Charlotte Cushman
