Oakwood, Iowa Sabbath eve, June 11th /65 My Husband Yours of May 26th was received last Friday; Of course I feel quite disappointed that you are not at home by this time, as I fully expected to.  But I still hope to see you soon.  I will however go on with my school which half out now, there is a good teacher in Desmoines a young lady who offers to take it any time I wish to leave, so mind is at rest on that subject.  I was very sorry indeed to hear of your having the ague, but hope you had it effectually broke.  Feel somewhat relieved to have a letter from you since that terrible explosion, although I did not borrow any trouble about it, as I knew you were three or four miles from the City, but others talking to me, made me feel somewhat anxious; it was truly a terrible affair.
