Dear Joe : —. . . Generally healthy; less sickness than ever, but more fatal. Come as soon as you safely can. Jim or I will return as soon as you get here. Can’t come now.
Don’t think our position an insignificant one. We make more captures and do more than any regiment I have yet heard of in Kentucky. Worrying on such subjects is simply green. It makes me laugh.
I was much interested in your account of the boys; very glad to have such favorable stories of them all. Love to ’em.
Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
Dr. J. T. Webb.
