I enclose envelope which I found among my things which will [?] for you to read to me. M.

Union Falls N.Y. Jan 31

My Dear Precious Husband

Your card of 25 [?] was rec’d, yesterday, instead of coming Saturday as it should have done. I sent a letter to you Friday + have forwarded lots of letters to you: 1 from Granville 2 from F. Grove 1 from Horace 1 from Washington &c. Can’t help feeling somewhat anxious to hear what the one from W. contains as it may in a measure decide our fate. But I desire to leave this + all other cares with him who careth for us.

Don’t worry about those [?] I found them on the carpet in the parlor they probably slipped out of your [?] when you opened it to put more something more in. Am sorry I didn’t let you take those I had with me at Plattsburgh: but thought you would find the others in your [?].

When I picked up the things in our room at the hotel, I found a few kernels of what I took to be some of your Oregon wheat which I preserved for you.
The weather has been more moderate lately. There was some rain Sat. P.M. + though it was a little cooler the next morning if [didn’t?] snap off so suddenly as it did the week before. Monday it thawed some + yesterday also + this A.M. we had quite a hard rain for a while. I think that Fanny misses you. She talks about [?] a great deal + sings a little song entitled [?] away, which I dedicated to you. But the [stage?] has come + I [?] close before I have written half as much as I wish.

With ever unending love

Your Margaret

All is well as usual
