Abstract: H-2 1839, May 27 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Buffalo. Eagerly awaits his return. Hopes Theresa will find a residence in New York “more to her taste" than what she had in either Andover or Boston and that she will be "happier than formerly." Indicates E. R.'s letter of Dec. 12th never arrived. Harriet is recovering and baby Caroline is well. Describes her trip from New Haven to Buffalo in the company of Mrs. Church (daughter of Prof. Silliman): north river boat to Albany; the railroad from there to Utica; the packet from Utica to Rochester; by railroad to Buffalo. Mrs. Church told her that Col. Trumbull, on his visit to Wilkes-Barre, did not ascertain with any great certainty our descent from the Puritan John Robinson, but he is very sanguine in the belief that such is the fact. He brought home a cane that once belonged to that reverend man.

Abstract: H-2 1839, Oct. 27 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Buffalo. Since E. R. is staying in Europe, she has decided to return to Detroit so she can be a friend and helper to Anna. She will have to depart very soon before all the boats are taken off Lake Erie for the winter months. The fall season has been exceptionally mild and pleasant, just like that of 1835 when she and Sophia visited E. R. in Boston. Elisabeth enjoyed her six weeks with Helen in Buffalo, but finds the city to be a business community where there is little literature and, of course, not such a state of things as would please a literary taste. Both Nancy Robinson and Aunt Mary in New Haven fell dangerously ill with lung fever and almost died.

Abstract: H-2 1840, April 20 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Detroit. She writes that "Charles has entered into political life with all his heart and mind and so devotes himself unsparingly to the furtherance of the Whig cause." The opposition has called Harrison the "Log Cabin candidate" and now his friends have taken the appellation and are making much of it. Log cabins are rising in many places--used for committee rooms, etc. Confirms that George is moving to Northampton in May. She expects her sister Sophia to come from Buffalo as soon as navigation on Lake Erie resumes. She says Detroit is so depressed that anyone who survives the present crises is sure to succeed in the future. Indicates that Theodore and Anna Tracy are doing well, live in a fine house, and have a garden with several varieties of grapes and plum trees.

Abstract: H-2 1839, Mar. 29 Letter to E.R. in Europe from brother Charles in New Haven. Gives a "sketch of things political." Charles won more than half of the Whig votes in the city election even though the Whig poltical machine had put up another candidate, and thus his new responsiblities include presiding at town meetings and examining candidates for electors. Three full pages of political news on the state and federal levels. On March 30th, Elisabeth squeezes a few lines on the space left by Charles. She says that Harriet gave birth to a baby daughter and Anna had a baby boy. Also mentions that Helen Tracy & husband are moving to Buffalo. She again indicates her eagerness to read his article in the Biblical Repository.

Abstract: H-1 1838, Nov. 5 Letter to E. R., sent via Havre to Berlin, from his sister Elisabeth in Utica. She had been in Detroit, but returned with Theodore and Anna, going by boat across the lake to Buffalo, then by stage to Batavia, by railroad to Rochester, by stage to Geneva (where she called on her cousin Whiting) and Auburn, by railroad to Syracuse, then by packet to Utica—a journey lasting 22 days, with eleven days spent in Buffalo while Theodore completed some business. While there they all went to the theater to witness performances of the Ravel family, which included feats such as dancing on a tightrope, etc. At Syracuse she called to see cousin Elbert's widow. After reaching Utica she thought her journey over, but was invited to accompany the Tracys to Vermont. After that excursion she planned to return for a week to Clinton, where their uncle is in good health as is also Mrs. Kirkland. Tells him that they returned to Utica and she stayed with Judge and Mrs. Dean. She read several of Edward's letters from the Levant to the Judge, who was much gratified to hear them. The elections in New York are taking place this week. C. P. Kirkland is the Whig candidate for Congress and John Floyd, his brother-in-law, is his opponent. Seward is again a candidate for Governor and Luther Bradish for Lieut. Gov.
