Soon after graduating from Brown University with a degree in chemistry, Perry was hired by the Mason, Chapin and Company of Providence. From 1892 to 1898, he served as assistant general superintendent of the Mathieson Alkali Works in Saltville, Virginia, his time there coinciding with the plant site's survey, construction, and the first two years of its operation. Leaving Saltville, Perry returned to Rhode Island in 1898. There he worked in the dye manufacturing industry. He married Bertha M. Tempest (1875-1946) the following year, and the couple would have three daughters. Perry continued to work in dye manufacturing until retiring at age 47. He served at least two terms in the Rhode Island General Assembly, representing Coventry in the House of Representatives (1919-1920) and State Senate (1921-1922). Charles Manchester Perry died on March 18, 1959 and was buried in Swan Point Cemetery, Providence, Rhode Island.","The guide to the Charles M.

Perry Papers commenced and was completed in March, 2020.","This collection contains the papers of Charles M. Perry, who served as assistant general superintendent of the Mathieson Alkali Works in Saltville, Virginia from 1892 to 1898. The collection is largely comprised of correspondence and printed materials. ","Perry's early correspondence is preserved in two letter copy books. The first of these holds copies of letters commencing on August 28, 1891, while he was working for Mason, Chapin and Company in Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania. Perry's letters from Saltville, Virginia begin on October 23, 1891 and contain both personal and business correspondence; likewise, many of the letters relate both to personal matters and to the establishment and operation of the plant at Saltville. The copied letters end on September 7, 1897. Among Perry's correspondents during this time period was John Howard Appleton, Brown University professor of chemistry. Appleton's letters focus largely on various chemical processes and the chemical business. The collection also contains a large number of letters from William Dye Mount. (Dye worked as an electrical engineer at Mathieson Alkali Works during Perry's time there, became general superintendent in 1898, then moved in 1918 to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he worked as a consulting engineer.) The two men were close friends, so the letters are largely personal in nature but include freqent mentions of the chemical plant's operations. Also among the correspondence is an exchange of letters between Perry and Saltville historian William B. Kent. The letters primarily focus on Perry's recollections of his time in Saltville during the 1890s, mentioning a number of local individuals and homes. ","The collection also includes several printed items relating to the history of Saltville, among which are a special anniversary pictorial issue of the Mathieson Alkali Works publication  The Alkalite ; the company's 1942 annual report; a copy of Kent's  A History of Saltville ; and several magazine and newspaper clippings. ","Accompanying these materials is a USB flash drive containing images of Saltville, including digital copies of about 150 photographs of early Saltville, taken by Charles Perry. Also on the flash drive are files compiled by Virginia Tech professor emeritus and Saltville historian Jim Glanville.","A second copy of the July 1922 special anniversary issue of  The Alkalite  was removed from the collection to be cataloged for the rare book collection.","Permission to publish material from the Charles M.

The copied letters end on September 7, 1897. Among Perry's correspondents during this time period was John Howard Appleton, Brown University professor of chemistry. Appleton's letters focus largely on various chemical processes and the chemical business. The collection also contains a large number of letters from William Dye Mount. (Dye worked as an electrical engineer at Mathieson Alkali Works during Perry's time there, became general superintendent in 1898, then moved in 1918 to Lynchburg, Virginia, where he worked as a consulting engineer.) The two men were close friends, so the letters are largely personal in nature but include freqent mentions of the chemical plant's operations. Also among the correspondence is an exchange of letters between Perry and Saltville historian William B. Kent. The letters primarily focus on Perry's recollections of his time in Saltville during the 1890s, mentioning a number of local individuals and homes. ","The collection also includes several printed items relating to the history of Saltville, among which are a special anniversary pictorial issue of the Mathieson Alkali Works publication  The Alkalite ; the company's 1942 annual report; a copy of Kent's  A History of Saltville ; and several magazine and newspaper clippings. ","Accompanying these materials is a USB flash drive containing images of Saltville, including digital copies of about 150 photographs of early Saltville, taken by Charles Perry. Also on the flash drive are files compiled by Virginia Tech professor emeritus and Saltville historian Jim Glanville."],"separatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eA second copy of the July 1922 special anniversary issue of \u003ctitle render=\"italic\"\u003eThe Alkalite\u003c/title\u003e was removed from the collection to be cataloged for the rare book collection.\u003c/p\u003e"],"separatedmaterial_heading_ssm":["Separated Materials"],"separatedmaterial_tesim":["A second copy of the July 1922 special anniversary issue of  The Alkalite  was removed from the collection to be cataloged for the rare book collection."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003ePermission to publish material from the Charles M.

Charlton was exchanged on September 21 but did not return to duty until May 20, 1863. On July 3, 1863, he was promoted to first lieutenant; on September 29, he resigned his commission for medical reasons. By 1870, Charlton was living with his wife Susan and two children on a farm near his father's. Two more children had been added to the family by 1880. James P. Charlton died on December 20, 1900. ","Milton Charlton was born ca. 1833 and enlisted in Company C, 54th Virginia Infantry at Christiansburg on April 10, 1862. He was killed at Resaca, Georgia during the Atlanta Campaign.

Most of the letters are accompanied by typed transcripts.","Among the correspondence are three letters from Davidson Charlton, encouraging his sons and Carden in their duty and offering to supply them with provisions they may need while in service. He also relays news from home and mentions a local attempt to incite an uprising of enslaved people. In 1862, he writes from the hospital at Staunton, Virginia, where his son, James P., is a patient. ","James P. Charlton writes of camp conditions (particularly in winter quarters) and movements of the regiment. He frequently mentions his health and notes his election as a lieutenant, together with his fear of being unable to pass the required examination. He asks for provisions from home, particularly for a planned Christmas dinner in 1862. He also writes of the regiment being under quarantine after a smallpox outbreak. ","Writing from camps mostly in southwestern Virginia, Milton Charlton relays news of his regiment's movements and weather and crop conditions. He also discusses an increase of desertion among the regiment. The letters of Waddy C. Charlton, meanwhile, focus largely on personal matters, but he also discusses camp incidents (including a large snowball battle between divisions) and the outcome of the 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign.","The collection also includes a small collection of correspondence of the James P.
