On August 29, 1850, he married Minerva L. Cook by whom he had five children prior to the outbreak of Civil War. For reasons of his own he enlisted in Company F, 27th Mass. Infantry Volunteer Regiment on Apr. 21, 1862, and was sent with other replacements to join the regiment, already in North Carolina, on June 5, 1862. The collection contains, in addition to the letters Tubbs wrote to his wife, 61 letters written by her brothers. There are several photographs, including one of Minerva Cook Tubbs on her 88th birthday in 1920.    Tubbs hardly arrived in camp near New Bern on June 9 when he was sent on a march that alerted him to the fact that he had neither the strength nor stamina for a full tour of duty as an active fighting soldier, a fact driven home by a tour of duty at Newport Barracks about 5 miles from Beaufort from September 13 to December 6, 1862. Though hospitalized toward the end of this tour of duty, Tubbs was sent with his company to federally occupied Washington, N.C., at the beginning of 1863 where he remained until April 24. After his return to New Bern, Tubbs remained in camp until he was transferred into the Veteran Reserve Corps (the \"Invalid Corps\") where he remained until the end of the war. Early in September, 1863, Tubbs left North Carolina for duty with the VRC at New York, and after nine months there he was sent to the Washington, D.C., area at the beginning of July, 1864, for duty there. He remained on duty with the VRC at Washington until his discharge in April, 1865.    Of the 249 letters in this collection 196 were written by Tubbs, primarily to his wife, \"Nerve\" during his period of service in the army. Of these 87 of the letters were written en route to or while on duty in North Carolina, 51 were written from the New York area, and the remaining 58 letters were written from the Washington, D.C. area. His letters from North Carolina report on camp life and morale, on battles, skirmishes, and attacks, on relations with freedmen and the training and arming of them, on local southerners who had enlisted in the North Carolina Volunteers (Union forces), and the Confederate siege of Washington, N.C., from March 30 to April 15, 1863, while he was stationed in the town and an eyewitness to events.    The collection contains, in addition to the letters Tubbs wrote to Minerva (Cook) Tubbs, 61 letters written by her brothers. Of these 50 were written by her brother Jeff Cook (alias Charles Jennings), of Battery G, Rhode Island Light Artillery (subsequently attached to Headquarters, Artillery Brigade, Sixth Corps, Army of the Potomac). Many of his letters are written on various kinds of patriotic stationery. Of the remaining 11 letters from the brothers, 7 were written by Andrew J. Cook while serving in the 13th Company, Massa�chusetts Heavy Artillery, and 4 were written by Lt. Frank A. Cook while on duty in the Department of the Gulf as a member of Company G, 31st Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry (where he died in 1863).    The photographs in the collection are as follows:  1. Charles Henry Tubbs, by Geo. H. Van Norman, Springfield, Mass.  2. Minerva (Cook) Tubbs, by Bosworth Studio  3. Minerva (Cook) Tubbs, 88th birthday portrait, Aug 31, 1920  4.
