She is disappointed that her brother and his family have once again postponed their return, this time until the summer.

Charles is also moving--to a smaller house on the other side of Chapel Street near Webster Square ("New Green"). At a young men's convention in Hartford, attended by 5,000 to 7,000, Charles was elected a delegate to the National Convention in Baltimore in May. Charles is working to elect Harrison & Tyler. Gives news of the Woodruffs and the Tracys. Theodore Tracy (Anna's husband) was gone for 5 weeks on business in Philadelphia and Cleveland. Elisabeth makes the following observation about religion in Detroit area: "There is an unusual degree of attention to religion in several of the churches in this city and many have been converted. Their pastor is very much engaged and attends meetings almost daily. There is an excitement throughout the country in all the eastern cities and large towns and many of the western."

Abstract: George laments that he has not been able to visit his father and assist him in his affairs.

His sense of honor and concern for reputation has forced him to make many sacrifices. He bitterly explains that his "honesty has been trifled with" and his "generosity abused". He tells his father that he stands to lose 30,000 dollars unless action is taken.

Abstract: H-2 1839, Jan. 30 Letter to E. R. in Europe from his brother Charles and sister Elisabeth in New Haven. They, in their respective parts of the letter, express relief that one letter came from Vienna and a second one from Berlin, both of which reassured the family that Edward's health was restored. Charles' part of the letter focuses on business-related items. He explains that prosperity is beginning to return to the region. Also says that his business (i.e., renewing insurance policies) is doing well. Mentions that brother George has found work in Smith & Sherman's store and Cornelia is attending dancing school, which helped restore her health. He is getting involved with politics and was asked to write a report on the feasibility of constructing a county prison. Elisabeth comments on a severe storm that did damage in New York and Hartford, destroying many bridges. She also indicates that she and Charles' family do not do much by way of social activities.
