Yes, you are definitely correct. Her trip to Europe was delayed. Originally she planned to sail on August 1, 1868, but she ended up leaving on October 1, 1868. I have read a couple of reasons. One is that she decided to remain in the USA for Robert's marriage to Mary Harlan. But she also claimed "sudden illness" caused the delay in departure date in the September 5th letter to Dubois that you cited.
