- Abstract
- G-2 1828, Sept 23 Letter to E. R. (c/o Curtis & Porter in Paris) from his sister Elisabeth in Catskill, who was visiting there. She mentions that E. R.'s letter of June 19th arrived in Southington Sept. 8th. She confesses to E. R. that his marriage brings to her mixed emotions, for she is the only one of the siblings that is now alone. Page 3 of the letter is dated the 29th, written after she had received letters from E. R. dated July 6, 21, and Aug. 5th and his latest journal entries—all bundled together. When in Catskill, she saw Mrs. Prof. Strong (i.e. Prof. Strong's wife) who said that there were but 9 students at Ham. College's commencement and that the President of the college refused to resign.
