One letter to Connecticut Governor John Trumbull and three letters to Betsey Huntington Wolcott.

Letter to Governor Trumbull inquiring about the circumstances of appointments as Commissioners of Turnpike Roads and why he was not reappointed. Notes that failure to be reappointed is tantamount to dismissal and is concerned that his character has been impeached in some way. Requests a private answer as to why he was omitted and asks to be excused for troubling the Governor.

Gives details of his travels home including with whom he stayed and the violent weather; the business of their family was conducted well in their absence; notes the death of their neighbor Mrs. Catlin; his brother's children are happily situated with Tapping Reeve and his wife; gives notes on girls who will hire out; Mary Ann received a certificate for good conduct from Miss Collins' school; gives number for tickets in the Lebanon lottery.

Thanks her for a letter; has not found a girl to hire; requests that she come home as he misses her and the children; adds a note that business will prevent him from coming for her until later than planned.

Writes to say he has reached home; gives details of an indentured man who has left to go to sea but did not take his personal effects; Mary Ann Wolcott Goodrich is bed ridden and feeble but wishes for Betsey and the children to make a visit on their return. A few political comments about the elections. Part of the letter is missing.
