CINCINNATI, [May 27,
1861.]
DEAR UNCLE: — I have nothing in particular you to write. I
heard a good war sermon today on the subject, “The Horrors of Peace”!
The weather is very unfavorable for troops in camp — wet and
chilly. The tents leak and the ground is low and flat. These things will
gradually mend themselves. We shall have precious little business this summer,
judging by present appearances. Come down when you feel like it.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BlRCHARD.
