[S?]
When this you
See remember
me
[Sallniet?????]
I miss [you?] or I Will [??]

I agree with @John Hartwell on the first part - When this you see remember me.

The next word looks like Tallinet. Below that it could be 1 Miss - maybe for a 1st Mississippi unit.

Ask Ron Coddington, publisher of Military Images magazine. He's member here of CWT, he also has his own Facebook page on that social media website.

Wondering if "Sallipet" is a pet name for his sweetheart aka "S" ?

Also like John's suggestion that the last line is "i Miss you."

That phrase
"When this you
See remember me"
was a very popular sentiment in the 19th century

I hope this young man came home to his sweetheart, whomever she was, and they lived happily ever after.

Another lovely book from Witney Antiques in glorious colour, A4 and with 47 pages. The title of the book comes from a sampler stitched by Charlotte Malpas in 1834. An endearing poem is a personal favourite, and I am in the middle of designing a sampler using it. This book includes Quaker...

Not entirely off topic…but I'm thinking of the conditions under which the soldiers hurriedly scrawled their messages to get them in the mail before their unit marched off. Dim light by a campfire or candle, balancing paper on a knee or the smoothest rock available, jostling along in a crammed train…. all reasons we should forgive their lousy handwriting.

Just throwing it out there for you because it might help you to conserve it differently: this is likely a tintype or an ambrotype, not a dag. I used to collect 19th C photographic images; daguerreotypes were out of fashion by the war in favor of cheaper image types. Either way, what a poignant photograph, and thanks for sharing. I do hope he made it home. He looks so young.

"&
When this you
See Remember
me
Sallipet
I will get"

I believe that last word is "get" mainly because 1. It seems to be a 3 letter word, 2. That first letter might be a G, and 3. It would complete the rhyme. And yes, I know that third letter really looks like a "p" but I cannot see how it could be and the last instance of "t" was weird anyways so I think it's plausible.

I'm not sure if "get" in this context means he will "get" her, as in win the heart of, "get" as in he must leave for the Army, or a promise he will "get" as in get back home safe and sound, but I think it works in all those meanings.

"When this you
See Remember
me..."
I agree with everyone else on the first part. But I think the last two lines are different. Tallinct I Mills? Or Jallinct I Wills?
Then the PS: Sop [?]

The reason I say the word Tallinct (or Jallinet or whatever it is) is because the first letter is not the same as other S on the inscription. See how he made the other S in "See"? Like a capital L?

I think the first letter of that word is either a T or J? And I don't see a "p" in the word, just the extra vertical strikethrough. Maybe it has an x in it?

I think his handwriting looks like he is being jostled around as he writes, or he is writing on a very rough surface. The "t" in "this," in the first line is crossed far above the letter, unlike the other assumed "t" s.

JMO but I think the beginning "S" and the "S" in Sallipet (?) are formed the same way. It it only the spacing that is different. Same with the small letter "i" in the note.
