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 1840, Mar. 23 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Detroit. She is disappointed that her brother and his family have once again postponed their return, this time until the summer. Tells him that there is a good chance George will purchase a hardware store in Northampton and move his family there. 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."
