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 says Detroit is so depressed that anyone who survives the present crises is sure to succeed in the future.

Abstract: H-2 1840, Jan. 2 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Detroit. Relays news from New Haven, namely that Nancy is too feeble to do very much. She has been downstairs but once since the birth of the baby [i.e. Oct. 30]. She and Charles are still deciding upon a name for the baby, either William Edward or Ernest, but Charles laments that one of these choices did not include his name. There is no gaiety in Detroit because of economic hard times and no public confidence. "Every man distrusts his neighbors. It is indeed a melancholy state of things." Elisabeth mentions that the price of flour is $5.50 and rents are very low, but even at reduced prices, people cannot afford such things.

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.

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."
