Diary of Lieutenant-Colonel Rutherford B. Hayes: Sunday, January 12, 1862

Very warm, threatening rain all day. Three of our men died yesterday and today — two of them just recruited. Good letter from Dr. Joe. Bothered about our not going to Kentucky and such nonsense, but full of interesting particulars about the boys and family.
