Steamboat Victress, Ohio River, July 22, 1863.
Dear Uncle: —
We have been after Morgan for a week. The Twenty-third was in all the fighting
at Pomeroy and Buffington and took two hundred and six prisoners. The Rebs
couldn't fight soldiers at all. We lost one man. We had a most glorious
time. We go up the Kanawha again today.
Sincerely,
R. B. Hayes.
S. Birchard.
