Abstract
H-1 1837, Oct. 29 Letter to E. R. from George and Elisabeth Robinson in New Haven. Addressed c/o Le Havre, France and forwarded to Syria, where E. R. received it Dec. 26th. George tells E. R. that Harriet, his wife, is in better health now than at any time since their marriage. The country's commercial difficulties continue and no relief will come until the foreign debt is liquidated. Believes Congress has done very little for the relief of the country. Elisabeth writes on Oct. 30th that brother-in-law James is in financial difficulty amounting to $6000. Also tells him about two tragedies at sea, one involved the sinking of a ship in a storm, the other a piracy off the mouth of the Delaware River. Notes that Samuel Hopkins of Geneva died.

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.
