CINCINNATI, May 23, 1860.
DEAR UNCLE: — We are all very well; have escaped the hurricane and floods without injury. Mother Webb was on a railroad train going to Lexington the afternoon of the great blow — the train ran over a tree causing alarm, but no injury to passengers.

Lincoln you are, of course, pleased with. He takes well here. All well at Columbus.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
