that Cy was such a good soldier and had grown to be so steady which will be very gratifying you as it was to us.  If I knew how to get a letter to him, I would write just a few lines to let him know he was remembered, the Rebels will - allow friends to write a few lines to pisones in their hands; you had better try to get some word to him, if you can ascertain his whereabouts; Stuarts wife is very sick this morning, and he is going up to Desmoines for medicine, and I am hurrying as you will see by the looks of the writing to send this by him to the office.  I could fill two more sheets of this size, but will wait a few days, when I can give you all the news on the farm, how our intrests are looked after.  I am going up to Austins today, when I will find out all about everything connected with our affairs, and will report to headquarters.  I must bid you good bye my own dear husband may Heaven keep you is the prayer of your wife.  Mary
