Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, May 22, 1861

Cincinnati, May 22, 1861.

Dear Uncle: — Your last is highly satisfactory. It is by no means certain that we shall get in, but we shall keep trying and sooner or later I suspect we shall succeed.

Lucy rather prefers, I think, not to go out to Fremont this summer if I should go away, but will of course do what we think best. I will come out before going away, even if I can stay only a day. If I should not leave, I shall of course visit you this summer and stay some time.

Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
S. BlRCHARD.
