- Abstract
- H-2 1839, Nov. 27 Letter to E. R. in Berlin from Elisabeth in Detroit. [very light ink and difficult to read] She writes the letter on the day preceding the annual festival of Thanksgiving proclaimed in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Illinois, but not in Michigan. Says "there is a political revolution in this state and Judge Woodbridge, whose wife is a Trumbull, is the Whig Governor." Gen. Scott and a regiment of soldiers is stationed in Dearborn because "rumor has it that the patriots might make trouble."
