Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes

Camp White, August 17, 1863.

Dear Uncle:—. . . It looks as if we should be very quiet here for two or three weeks, after which it is probable we shall push up into the mountains again for a campaign of three or four weeks. . . .

Sincerely,

R. B. Hayes.

S. Birchard.
