- Abstract
- H-1 1837, Oct. 29 Letter to E. R. from George and Elisabeth Robinson in New Haven. Addressed c/o Le Havre, France and forwarded to Syria, where E. R. received it Dec. 26th. George tells E. R. that Harriet, his wife, is in better health now than at any time since their marriage. The country's commercial difficulties continue and no relief will come until the foreign debt is liquidated. Believes Congress has done very little for the relief of the country. Elisabeth writes on Oct. 30th that brother-in-law James is in financial difficulty amounting to $6000. Also tells him about two tragedies at sea, one involved the sinking of a ship in a storm, the other a piracy off the mouth of the Delaware River. Notes that Samuel Hopkins of Geneva died.
