- Abstract
- H-2 1840, Mar. 23 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Detroit. She is disappointed that her brother and his family have once again postponed their return, this time until the summer. Tells him that there is a good chance George will purchase a hardware store in Northampton and move his family there. 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. Gives news of the Woodruffs and the Tracys. Theodore Tracy (Anna's husband) was gone for 5 weeks on business in Philadelphia and Cleveland. 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."
