Fayetteville, July 16, 1863.
Dear Uncle: —
We are on our return from beyond Raleigh. Rebs we were after left their
stronghold without a fight, and our troops destroyed their works. Shall
probably return to Charleston soon. Morgan in Ohio! I wish we were there also.
All things look well. The escape of Lee does not disappoint me. To get rid of
him so easily is a success. We shall get him some day. I enjoyed this last
little campaign very much indeed.
Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
S. BlRCHARD.
