CINCINNATI, July 6, 1865.
DEAR UNCLE:— Lucy will still remain, as heretofore, at Chillicothe; if she leaves at all, it will only be for a short visit. The two big boys, Birch and Webb, are both very anxious to go to Fremont, and will do so, I think, in about a couple of weeks.
I have taken a room, southeast corner of Fourth and Elm Streets, and will make headquarters for the present at the office of Stephenson and Noyes. I left Chillicothe yesterday. All very well. Our present purpose is to arrange some way to keep house next winter and have Mother Hayes with Lucy, but perhaps nothing better be said to Mother yet. Lucy will like to live with me at Spiegel Grove whenever I am ready to go there.
Sincerely,
R. B. H.
S. BIRCHARD.
