Columbus, October 23, 1862.
Dear Uncle: —
Laura married and off yesterday — all sensible and happy. We had a delightful
visit to the boys and kin at Pickaway and Ross Counties. Lucy drove young Ned
to Chillicothe and back from here. He is a safe horse and Platt expects to send
him back to you when he begins to use his colt. My arm mends very slowly.
Mother and all here well. I am to be colonel of [the] Twenty-third and to go to
western Virginia. Shan't go for seme weeks. Lucy goes home to Cincinnati next
week — about the last of the week. My regards to all.
Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
S. Birchard.
