CUMBERLAND,
MARYLAND, February 17,
1865.
Dear UNCLE:- I send
for safe keeping my original appointment as brigadier-general. It was confirmed
by the Senate a few days ago.
No movements here.
It seems to be the expectation that Lee will attempt something desperate to get
out of the net forming around him. We are having a gay time. Balls,
etc., of the fastest sort are common.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
