Gallipolis, November 28, 1862 (P. M.)
Dearest: — Had
a nice trip up the river. All accounts from the Twenty-third seem favorable for
a tolerably decent winter. I go up in the morning. Met Captain Hood here. He
goes up with me, also two or three soldiers.
Mr. French and eight men in hospital, all glad to see me. I
wished you were with me on the way.
Love to all the boys and Grandma. Write often. With much
love.
Yours,
R.
Mrs. Hayes.
