We have all the teams in the livery stables and have plenty to eat and a nice place for them. I have heard nothing from our Reg yet nor from harmon you have a better chance than i have. We keep moving about so after that the letters never reach us i think we will stay here 3 or 4 weeks yet and probably longer i don't know where we will go after leaving here i will close for this time i am on guard to day i have wrote about a dozen letters since i came here and have got none. direct your letters here to Independence in casree of capt McCormack co E 8th Iowa i give my respects to all of the friends in general both far and near Yours truly P H Mark to M M Mark & T Mark PS Before long you will hear of a glorious victory in Mo the rebels will fly like fire before the wind the Union will be preserved and we will be on our road home.
