Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes

Gallipolis, November 28, 1862 (P. M.)

Dearest: — Had a nice trip up the river. All accounts from the Twenty-third seem favorable for a tolerably decent winter. I go up in the morning. Met Captain Hood here. He goes up with me, also two or three soldiers.

Mr. French and eight men in hospital, all glad to see me. I wished you were with me on the way.

Love to all the boys and Grandma. Write often. With much love.

Yours,

R.

Mrs. Hayes.
