Abstract: G-3 1829, April 25 Contains three letters to E. R. (c/o Curtis & Porter in Paris): one from Elisabeth in Southington dated April 25; one from Charles dated April 26; one from Elisabeth dated April 28. First two letters fill 4 sides of regular paper, thereby requiring a separate piece of paper be used to create an envelope. On the back of this envelope, Elisabeth has written her second letter, with text in both the horizontal and vertical positions. In no. 1, Elisabeth thanks her brother for sending her a watch, "a token of fraternal remembrance." The opening paragraph of this letter shows clearly what an inseparable bond existed between these two siblings. Mentions that the Christian Spectator is being issued quarterly. Notes that the number of subscribers dropped by 100 after the Spirit of the Pilgrim came out in Boston. Mentions revivals occurring in towns such as Farmington and says that Mr. Ogden (pastor of the Cong. Church) expects such activity to spread to Southington. In no. 2, Charles rejoices with Edward that he is soon to become a father. Charles cautioned his brother to provide well for Therese at this time, noting with sorrow the infirmities that have come to his wife Nancy because of problems in childbirth. Gives advice to Edward concerning the selling of land in Clinton. Notes that Hamilton College is currently under review by the Board of Regents. Also says he has no knowledge of the Ohio land negotiations, for these are being handled solely by George. In no. 3, Elisabeth tells her brother that the spring months of March and April have been very cold and thus the peach and apricot trees have yet to burst into full bloom. Even the Hudson was frozen until the end of March as far south as Poughkeepsie, with stage passengers going from Albany to Poughkeepsie on the ice and then switching to steamboat for the trip to New York City. At this date the garden has produced peas and lettuce, but the other vegetables are slow to mature. Charles has planted 3 varieties of grapes. "Dr.[J. T.] Kirkland and Lady sailed for Havre on the 11th." Speaks of the Temperance Society and a resolution signed by 18 men and 15 ladies who promised not to use spirits except as medicine for a period of one year.
Note: 1829, April 25/26- Two letters in one to Edward Robinson, one from Elisabeth, one from Charles.

Abstract: G-2 1828, July 26 Letter to E. R. (c/o Curtis & Porter in Paris) from his sister Elisabeth in Southington, CT. First two pages detail news of family. Cousin Sarah of Rochester was in Clinton and that "uncle had received your letter announcing your intention of marriage and that they were all pleased." Also noted that the position held by Prof. Strong at Hamilton College would have no successor for the want of pupils. Pages 3 and 4 are dated July 28 and were written in response to a recently received letter in which Robinson obviously told her that he would delay his return home by a year because of his forthcoming marriage to Therese. Elisabeth writes: "Prof. Yates, being an American, will doubtless be present at the wedding." She then says that she too should like to be present.

Abstract: G-3 1829, June 25 Letter to E. R. [c/o Curtis & Porter, Paris] from Elisabeth in Southington, CT. Explains why she has not replied to his letters of March 17 and 31, April 16: their sister Sophia came from Catskill on May 18 for an extended visit, the purpose of which was to place her daughter Ann in a school near Hartford, CT. They visited Uncle George in Northington, went on to Farmington, before returning to Southington on May 23. Sophia stayed on for another week. Thanks E. R. for sending a package from Paris. Included in the package were 3 'bags'— one for each sister and a special gift from E. R. to Elisabeth, which is not named. Apparently there had been some previous falling out between Charles and Sophia, but the current visit repaired the damage and Sophia was "pleased with Nancy," Charles' wife. The sisters "made a division of things which formerly belonged to Aunt Lydia," with Sophia taking "three plates, a huge bowl, a small decanter and a small tumbler." Elisabeth mentions that "our new meeting house was raised last month . . . but they advance very slowly with it. . . . The old house is in a most miserable state, and by no means fit to meet in. . . . In this state of things it is not surprising that many should attend the Baptist church."
