H-2 1839, May 27 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Buffalo. Eagerly awaits his return.

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.

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.

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.
