Abstract
J.P. (Julia Perkins) Mead letter to Justin Perkins in which Mead shares news of news of Henry (Perkins) who had spent his winter vacation with the Meads helping in the store, that Henry was studious but when he came "was thin of flesh" and that he looked very well when he left. Mead shares that she heard news from Henry about Perkins wife (Charlotte Bass Perkins) who was about the same. Mead also shares news about her children including her son James who was fighting in the war and notes that the war seems to grow desperate every day. In addition, Mead asks if Perkins has received an album of pictures and letters from James and says she is glad Perkins letters are so cheerful even though she knows he is sad.
