Harrisonburg, Virginia, September 28, (5 A. M.), 1864.
Dearest: — We have marching orders this morning. Where to, etc., I don’t yet know. I think we shall have no more heavy fighting. You will know where we are before this reaches you through the papers. We shall probably be out of the reach of you for several days.
My thoughts are of you these days more than usual and I always think of my darling a good deal, as I ought to do of such a darling as mine. You know I am
Your ever affectionate
R.
Mrs. Hayes.
