| Abstract | Henry (Martyn Perkins) letter to his father Justin Perkins in which Henry writes that he finished up at Easthampton comfortably and returned to Chicopee Wednesday morning. He notes that he brought most of his things, but that he left a few and engaged his room thinking there might be a possibility he would return. He shares his mark for the term and writes regarding helping Ma (Charlotte Bass Perkins). He mentions the war and says he supposes Justin spent yesterday in "Uncle Abe's" native city. |
