money I should have gone with them I also heard this morning that the regiment was going to remain there till their teams recruited, if they do I hope you will get a chance to come home, ever since you came so near coming home, I feel nervous every blue coat that I see. I am quite well again, I am in the dagurrean room. Shurman has gone East and Will is taking pictures, Mrs. White is having her photograph taken if I could get a good one I would send you another, I do wish I could have yours in a large frame in your full uniform I saw one in a large frame this morning from the 2nd Iowa, if you should go to St Louis get a photograph wont you & send it in a large envelop & I can get it framed. I expected a letter from you this morning but was dr's appointed; I saw Dr Whitman this morning he was out to Fathers last Sunday, Father is better but is some what discouraged. I expect to go out in the country next week, I will write you soon again, till then good bye my dearest husband, remember me in your prayers, ever your true & loving Mary
