Rome September 12, 1862 [?] Friday Morning

Darling Mother, I was so glad to get your last letter which came [of?] last mail day, it seemed a long time since I had heard from you all, and our letters do not seem to go straight - for it has been much more than two weeks since I have had a letter from my sister, and I have written to her twice since her last - except one which came a day or two ago, dated the 26th of June.
