Marengo Iowa Feb 28th 1865 Tuesday morning Dear Brother Jim again I have seated myself to write to you. I do not know that I have any thing of much importance to write, but such as I have I will write. In the first place, our family are all well & doing tolerable well.

Mrs Miles was taken about the same time
