Middletown, Maryland, October 1, 1862.
Dear Mother: —
We are getting on very well. The arm mends slowly but is doing well. I think I
can move by the first of next week.
I receive your letters and was much obliged for the dainties
you intended to send, but we don't need them. Lucy visits the hospital
daily. We rather enjoy this life. For the most part, I am very comfortable, but
an hour or two a day I suffer more than ever. I shall come to Columbus first;
probably the last of next week, say about the 12th of October. Love to all.
Your son,
R. B. Hayes.
Mrs. Sophia Hayes.
