Delaware, February 14, 1862. Friday morning.
Dearest Lucy:
— I reached here last night. Mother, Mrs. Wasson, and Sophia, all well and
happy. Old Delaware is gone; the bright new town is an improvement on
the old.
Snow deep, winter come again. Old times come up to me —
Sister Fanny and I trudging down to the tanyard with our little basket after
kindling. All strange; you are Sister Fanny to me now, dearest.
I go to Fremont this evening. Mother sends love, Write to
her. Love to all.
Affectionately,
R.
Mrs. Hayes.
