- Abstract
- H-2 1839, May 27 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Buffalo. Eagerly awaits his return. Hopes Theresa will find a residence in New York “more to her taste" than what she had in either Andover or Boston and that she will be "happier than formerly." Indicates E. 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.
