Series II: Personal Documents, 1910-1960

The bulk of this series is correspondence with friends and family, particularly with his mother, Evelina Perkins, his sister Dorothy (Polly) Perkins, his first wife, Katherine Trowbridge, and his second wife, Linn Merck Perkins. There are also notes and handbooks from his school days, papers documenting his participation in the 1908 and 1912 Republican Conventions, and drafts of a biography of his father, George W. Perkins, which was later used by Trumbull White for a book that was never published. This series also includes travel diaries from 1910 to 1931, some of which describe trips that were also photographed. The photographs are included in Series VI.
