Camp White, April 24, 1864.
Dear Mother: —
We are very busy, and of course happy getting ready for campaigning. General
Averell is here and large additions are daily arriving to our force. The Thirty-sixth
Ohio is at present added to my command, I hope permanently.
Lucy and the other ladies are preparing to go to Ohio. The
weather is favorable and everything is cheering and full of life. . . .
Your affectionate
son,
R.
Mrs. Sophia Hayes.
