- Abstract
- H-1 1837, Oct. 6 Letter to E. R., addressed to Le Havre, France, forwarded first to Stettin, Prussia and then to Leipzig, from his sister Elisabeth Robinson in New Haven, CT. Was in Albany visiting Sophia and James Woodruff at the time Helen and Anna, with their families, departed for Detroit. Mentions the death of Dr. Sprague's wife in Albany. She then returned to New Haven and stayed with George's family while Charles, Nancy and Cornelia were en route to Albany. Relates that Mr. Lee's barns and outhouses in Southington burned to the ground on Monday. Earlier that same day Mr. Lee was elected Constable by the Whigs. Since Mr. Lee had formerly been of the opposite party, he was threatened for changing sides, and some believed the fire was started by Asahel Peck. Indicates New Haven had been struck by many unexplained fires.
