Abstract
J. Perkins letter to William S. Tyler in which Perkins writes about his affliction on account of the illness of his son Henry, who had never betrayed the slightest tendency to depression in his letters. He writes about Mr. Rhea and his recent death. He notes the grief of Rhea's family and says that he thinks Miss Rice has sent Mrs. Rhea's narrative to Mt. Holyoke Seminary. He requests Tyler read it. Perkins writes regarding Mrs. Rhea and then goes on to remark on the death of two missionaries in Turkey. He comments on the prosperity at Amherst (College) and says that he had hoped Henry would join that college or Middlebury. He says there is no change in the health of his wife. He also responds to news that Tyler's son survived the war and remarks on the end of slavery.
