- G-2 1828, Aug. 29 Letter to E. R. (c/o of Curtis & Porter in Paris) from his sister Elisabeth in Southington, CT. Tells how the family in Southington marked the occasion of E. R.'s marriage to Therese: "after the fashion of our country we had what we called wedding cake and on the 6th we had a small party." Mentions going to New Haven to visit and encountered there a student rebellion at Yale College caused by "improper food."
