Camp Chase, June 28, 1861.
Dear Uncle: —
I found all well at home and at Columbus — all feeling anxious about you. I
gave as favorable an account of your health as I could conscientiously.
I am again in camp. Our new colonel is personally an
agreeable gentleman to be associated with; in experience and education, equal
to the place; but probably deficient in physical health and energy. . . .
Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
S. BlRCHARD.
