get to send you the Photographs

before you left Nashville, but

I could not get them taken I

went to Leigonier twice with

the calculation of getting them, but

one day it was not a good

day to take them, the 4^th of July

there was no chance to get them

so you see that I had to come

without them a gain. but

I hope you will soon get

home and then you will not

need them you can see us, and

I can see you (that is if we all

live till that time comes) which

will be much more pleasure

than looking at a picture, and

talking by pen and ink as we

now do, but still we should

be thankful that we even

have this privlig of communi-

cating our thoughts and

affections to each other, when

far a part as we have been

for some time past.
