Abstract
W. Goodell letter to Justin Perkins in which Goodell responds to Perkins' comments about his wife (Charlotte Bass Perkins), saying that they often remember, as Perkins does, how happy and bright she was 29 years ago. Goodell expresses their hopes that the shadows will fall away and the brightness will return. He goes on to write regarding the American Civil War, noting the death of their daughter-in-law's brother, Lieutenant Colonel Bell, in the battle at Antietam Creek. Goodell also shares the news that three girls "of our place" have started family visitation and Bible Reading. He says they do not know if their children have joined the army and notes that they intend to keep Miss Beach through the winter.
