- Abstract
- H-2 1839, Jan. 30 Letter to E. R. in Europe from his brother Charles and sister Elisabeth in New Haven. They, in their respective parts of the letter, express relief that one letter came from Vienna and a second one from Berlin, both of which reassured the family that Edward's health was restored. Charles' part of the letter focuses on business-related items. He explains that prosperity is beginning to return to the region. Also says that his business (i.e., renewing insurance policies) is doing well. Mentions that brother George has found work in Smith & Sherman's store and Cornelia is attending dancing school, which helped restore her health. He is getting involved with politics and was asked to write a report on the feasibility of constructing a county prison. Elisabeth comments on a severe storm that did damage in New York and Hartford, destroying many bridges. She also indicates that she and Charles' family do not do much by way of social activities.
