Title: Hudson, August 8th, 1832. Mr. Edward Robinson, Theol Seminary, Andover, Massachusetts

Geography: Twinsburg (Ohio), Andover (Mass.)
Abstract: Q 1832, Aug. 8 Letter from Harvey Baldwin of the Hudson Portage Co. in Hudson, Ohio to Edward Robinson in Andover MA. Apparently E. R. had written to Baldwin asking many questions about the value and resale possibilities of the Ohio lots and this letter attempts some very detailed answers. For example, Mills explains the soil is good for grazing or grain, timber is very fine (whitewood, black walnut, cherry, butternut, chestnut, oak, hickory, etc.), taxes are $14 per annum, and land in the region is selling from $2.50 to $6 per acre. Mills, however, is not very optimistic about selling the lots at a profit in the present real estate market. [contains a second letter; see below]

Geography: Twinsburg (Ohio), Andover (Mass.), Hudson (Ohio)
Abstract: Q 1833, Jan. 12 Letter to E. R. in Andover from Augustus E. Foot in Hudson, Ohio. Enclosed is a draft drawn on New York for $100 for E. R., because his brother George never applied for the money. Notes that Gen. [Harvey] Baldwin, a resident of Hudson and treasurer of the Western Reserve College, will in the future be able to write checks drawn on a bank in Boston because the college has funds in that city. Foot describes the character of Humphrey, per E. R.'s request, but part of his description is ripped off the page and lies under the wax seal. One can read, however, that Humphrey "is one of the first lawyers on the Reserve and was a candidate for a seat in Congress at the last election and came near being successful."
