Camp Reynolds, May I, [i864]. i2 M.
Dearest: — I
am in the old log cabin at a desk where our bed stood. The troops are on the
hill overlooking the Falls. The Fifth has gone to Tompkins Farm. I write you
merely to finish the good-bye so hastily spoken on the steamboat. Your visit
has been the greatest possible happiness to me. I carry with me the pleasantest
recollections of you dear ones all. Goodbye.
Affectionately,
R.
Mrs. Hayes.
