- Abstract
- G-3 1829, June 25 Letter to E. R. [c/o Curtis & Porter, Paris] from Elisabeth in Southington, CT. Explains why she has not replied to his letters of March 17 and 31, April 16: their sister Sophia came from Catskill on May 18 for an extended visit, the purpose of which was to place her daughter Ann in a school near Hartford, CT. They visited Uncle George in Northington, went on to Farmington, before returning to Southington on May 23. Sophia stayed on for another week. Thanks E. R. for sending a package from Paris. Included in the package were 3 'bags'— one for each sister and a special gift from E. R. to Elisabeth, which is not named. Apparently there had been some previous falling out between Charles and Sophia, but the current visit repaired the damage and Sophia was "pleased with Nancy," Charles' wife. The sisters "made a division of things which formerly belonged to Aunt Lydia," with Sophia taking "three plates, a huge bowl, a small decanter and a small tumbler." Elisabeth mentions that "our new meeting house was raised last month . . . but they advance very slowly with it. . . . The old house is in a most miserable state, and by no means fit to meet in. . . . In this state of things it is not surprising that many should attend the Baptist church."
