Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, January 6, 1861

CINCINNATI, January 6, 1861.

DEAR UNCLE: — We have had the usual fun and folly during the holidays and are safely through with them. Mother is almost perfectly well again and seems contented and happy. All the rest of the family are in usual health. I had a few days' influenza which passed off doing no harm.

I shall not be very busy, but employment enough for the next few weeks. I expect to spend some days at Columbus within two or three weeks. Mother wants to hear from you; thinks something wrong if you do not write often.

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES
S. BIRCHARD.
