To RH Milroy From Mary Milroy July 23 1862

              Rensselaer, Ind 
                      July 23rd, 1862 
My Dear Robert 
                I received your letter 
of the 14th written near Woodville last 
evening, and am exceedingly sorry that 
I have caused you any uneasiness about 
home, by my failing to write for a time, 
if any thing serious had occurred I would 
not have failed to have kept you posted 
or if I had not been able myself to write 
I would have got some one else to write. 
So in the future you may  depent on my 
keeping you fulley posted if anything 
serious occurs, and I hope my dear you 
will not again have cause to become so 
painfully anxious about home. 
  The only reason I can give you for not writing 
as regularly as I had done, is that I learned 
from the papers that you were in persuit  
of Jackson and did not know where to 
direct my letters, and thought that I 
would wait untill I would get a letter
