- Abstract
- H-2 1840, April 20 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Detroit. 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 expects her sister Sophia to come from Buffalo as soon as navigation on Lake Erie resumes. She says Detroit is so depressed that anyone who survives the present crises is sure to succeed in the future. Indicates that Theodore and Anna Tracy are doing well, live in a fine house, and have a garden with several varieties of grapes and plum trees.
