Camp Reynolds, Virginia, February 24, 1863.
Dear Uncle: —
We are all well. Lucy and the boys enjoy camp life and keep healthy. Two of our
companies have gone down the river to Charleston preparatory to moving the
Twenty-third there. We expect to follow in two or three weeks. We care nothing
about the change. It brings us into easier communication with home and has
other advantages. We shall possibly remain there the whole spring. If so, after
weather settles in May, it will be a pleasant trip for you to visit us if you
can spare time.
I have no idea when Lucy will return home. The boys are
doing well here.
Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
S. BlRCHARD.
