Abstract: H-2 1839, April 29 Letter to E.R. in Europe from Elisabeth in New Haven. Tells him how nice it is to have several letters from his side of the Atlantic, including one from Mary to her cousin Cornelia. She is glad to know his plans for returning home. Charles bought a copy of Biblical Repository and they all enjoyed reading his article. Mentions that someone from Leipzig has recently published criticism of Mr. Buckingham in the New York Observer and rumor has it that Edward is that "someone." She believes the criticism comes from the pen of Mr. [Eli] Smith. Says "we" [Charles & Elisabeth?] spent the Sabbath in Southington with the Whittelsey family. Indicates that "our old place made me more sad than I had ever done before. It has always exhibited appearances of neglect, but now that I have not seen it for a year, it seemed that the progress of decay had been doubly acculmulated. The lilacs are gone, the roof broken, fences down, in fact everything having evidence of a total want of care on the part of the owner, Mr. Potter." Col Trumbull has been part of Prof. Silliman's family for more than a year. Trumbull is very feeble but is planning a trip to Wilkes-Barre to visit a Mr. Robinson who has some ancient family records. He is trying to establish our descent from Robinson of Leyden. The Whigs triumphed in the election. Dr. Penny has resigned as President of Hamilton College and Prof. North is his successor. Uncle Norton is in good health. Mrs. Kirkland is very feeble.
