C-3 1819, July 26 Letter to E. R. in Clinton from his father, William Robinson, Southington, CT. The letter consists of 2 folios, but folio 2r contains but seven lines of writing; the rest of the page has been cut (not torn) off and hence the closing remarks and signature are lacking. The missing part of the letter was found in another cache of letters dating from the 1830s. William wrote this letter to console E. R. on the death of his first wife, Eliza Kirkland. [This is the second letter E. R. received from his father concerning the death of Eliza. An earlier letter dated July 19 is in the Ham. College Archives.]
