New CREEK, May 12,
1865.
DEAR MOTHER:— I have
returned from Washington, and shall start this afternoon for
Chillicothe. I do not leave the army for a few days until I know what is to be
done with my favorite troops. As soon as that is known I quit. I shall bring
Lucy here to await events.
Affectionately, your son,
R.
MRS. SOPHIA HAYES.
