No 14 Cottage Home, Iowa Friday March 3d /65 Dear Husband Yours of Jan 30th was received on Monday, I had got one later than that a week before this one had been taken out, and by the looks of it had been read pretty often, at least it was badly soiled; there was no apology on the back of it, If I had got it myself I should have mentioned it, I would a little rather read my letters first. We were all very glad to hear of Cyrus in that letter; if he would only write to you I would be so glad; but still he wanted you to write more frequently.  I presume he likes to hear from you and home if he don't answer.  I also received a record of your Co last week.
