Abstract
Alexander Wilson McClure letter to Justin Perkins expressing concern for Perkins' afflictions. McClure notes that in exchange for the photographic portrait Perkins had shared he was sending one of his own self, noting that time and disease has left their marks. McClure says that Perkins' portrait reminded him of the "good Amherst times" and shares his memories of when he and Perkins first knew each other and shares memories of a classmate, George Payson Barker, and the fashion at the time of wearing very wide shirts. McClure shares his opinion on the arrival for the summer of his wife's four sisters, comments on the state of his own health, and on his contributions to a new periodical out of Pittsburgh called the "Family Treasure," and notes Perkins' report on the Nestorian Mission.
