I have lost my dear mother &amp; my estate has increased in value, so that I can with safety make a somewhat different division of the interests accruing therefrom. To that end I enclose you a rough memoranda of my wishes. numbered in order from 1. to 12: corresponding with which. I have made pencil memoranda of no's [last two words inserted] on the margin of my will above mentioned. which I also enclose to you with this note &amp; memoranda. If it is possible to make a codicil to this said will cover</p> <p>[page 2] the different changes I wish to make. I shall be glad. if you will draw up any such paper &amp; forward it to me here. If it is not possible. &amp; it should be nescessary [sic] in your best judgement to have another will drawn up. You shall use your best leisure to have prepared for me, any such [inserted] paper or will [last two words inserted] which you consider nescessary [sic] to come the ground contained in my memoranda enclosed— which I have signed, in presence of my friend Mrs Addison Child of Swampscott. That in the event of any accident to me. between now &amp; the time such paper shall be signed. my will may, of possible, be administered according to the changes I have indicated in this memoranda—and such paper that you prepare for me. you will perhaps send to me <u>here</u>. if before the 25" of this month. or to the care of Mrs Ellery Sedgwick</p> <p>[page 3] Lenox. after the 25th Sept &amp; before the 2d of October. After that. I shall be on my way to S^t Louis. but perhaps the paper had better be signed before I go west! on the 5" page of said will beforementioned between the 18" &amp; 30" lines there is already an "<u>item</u>" contained in Eleven lines. which may cover. some of the memoranda I have made. but I have drawn your attention to them by members 1 to 12. for fear of accident. It has struck me that as the estate can now afford it. it would be better to give regular annuities, as I have indicated, +++ [inserted] instead of fractional divisions of whole estate. &amp; thus save my trustees from any questionings or doubts. but if you think other—I shall be glad of any suggestions on your part. &amp; not to engage more of your time— remain as Ever—very faithfully &amp; truly Your obliged. <br />Charlotte Cushman</p> Location The location of the interview Swampscott, MA, US Geocode (Latitude) 42.4699241 Geocode (Longitude) -70.9171507 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
