Middletown, Maryland, September 26, 1862.
Dear Mother: —
Lucy is making me very happy and comfortable. She visits the wounded and is
much interested in them. I am doing well, and shall probably get home in three
or four weeks. Many of the wounded are starting home, and all hope to get leave
to go before they return to service. I am not suffering much. The weariness
from lying abed is the chief annoyance. Dr. Smith was here with Mr. Sessions
and others. You need not send fruit and things. I get all I need without
trouble. Love to all.
Affectionately,
R.
Mrs. Sophia Hayes.
