Letters that Perkins wrote home from Camp Harris, Md. (1861, Dec. 7), Hagerstown, Md. (1862, Aug. 27), Alexandria, Va. (1862, Sept. 28), Fairfax Court House, Va. (1863, Jan. 21), Stevensburg, Va. (1864, Apr. 24), Chancellorville, Va. (1864, May 14), and Bridgewater, Va. (1864, Oct. 2). The long, detailed letters describe the battles of Antietam and Spottsylvania Court House, recount news of the Union and Confederate military operations, discuss camp life, regimental news and recruiting, and depict tensions between the Union troops and local "secessionist citizens."
