Camp Reynolds, February 8, 1863.
Dear Uncle: —
Your tracts came yesterday and were distributed. They will do instead of
sermons today. Lucy and the boys are enjoying it much. They add much to our
happiness this bad weather.
I shall go with [the] Twenty-third to Charleston in a few
weeks. We are pretty well thinned out — only three old regiments left. Lucy
says she thinks the Rebels can't get her. I am not so sure. She rode outside of
the lines four or five miles yesterday.
Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
S. BlRCHARD.
