Russel states that General Lafayette would like to see Perkins "after divine service this afternoon." Hopes that Perkins can persuade General Elliot to be there as well, since Lafayette would like to see him as well. Says Lafayette must be back in Boston by the evening. The letter is addressed to Perkins in "Brooklyn," which refers to Brookline, Massachusetts, where Perkins lived. Possibly written in 1825 when Lafayette visited Boston to help dedicate the Bunker Hill Monument, which Perkins contributed extensively towards.
