CUMBERLAND,
MARYLAND, April 10, 1865.
DEAR JUDGE:— I am
told that my application for leave has come back without approval. I am sending
it again today. At this rate it will be ten days before I see it again. The War
Department wants to know my business. They mustn't be too crotchety or I'll get
naughty on their hands.
I hope this cruel
war is over. I shall resign probably in about six weeks.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
