Letter signed Mary Ann Badger, St. Louis, to Husband [Captain Alexander Badger], Louisville, Kentucky. I send you fifty dollars by the Northerner, Captain Fuller, and some clothes. I was anxious to come but Mr. James Russell told me that you said for me not to come. Alice [Badger, later Alice Cayton] and the rest of our relations are up the Missouri River on the E.
