Captain Charles Russell Lowell to Charles Elliott Perkins, December 7, 1861

Camp, Sixth Cavalry, East Of Capitol,
Washington, Dec. 7, '61.

By Jove, old fellow, I wish I could see you for an hour or two. I hardly know myself in this new style of life, and though I fancy it much, I still see everything “through a glass darkly.” I feel as though I were in a dream, and positively yearn for some old fact, like yourself, occasionally.
