CUMBERLAND,
MARYLAND, February 19, 1865.
Dear Uncle:—
Yours of [the] 17th received today. I will send you five
hundred dollars by express tomorrow.
It is in
interest-bearing notes. Are they worth any more to you than other
funds? We are paid a good deal of it.
A cripple of my
regiment from Fremont goes home in [a] day or two. I think he is a first-rate
man — Lejune. [He] captured twenty-five Rebels at South Mountain. He was badly
wounded at Antietam, and got well just in time to get awfully hurt at
Cloyd's Mountain.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
