Beverly, Virginia, August 24, 1861.
Dear Uncle: —
Thank you for the postage stamps. The traitors at home, you need not fear. . . . We are needed here. Shall march towards
the enemy tomorrow again. I am better pleased with this than with the main army
at Washington.
Affectionately,
R. B. Hayes.
S. BlRCHARD.
