WASHINGTON, May 7,
1865.
DEAR UNCLE:— I am
spending a few days very pleasantly here. I have had two talks with the
President. He strikes me favorably.
The great armies are
gathering here. Grant is here; also Sheridan. Sherman is expected soon. I am
waiting a little while to see how the cat will jump. June early is still my
time for leaving — possibly sooner. I return to New Creek in a few days.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
