Rutherford B. Hayes to Sophia Birchard Hayes, October 22, 1865

CINCINNATI, October 22, 1865.

DEAR MOTHER:— I am again pretty well settled in my old home on Sixth Street. It is very pleasant to be in my own house again. The boys are not yet all here. I shall have them at home in a week.

We are ready to have you as soon as you wish to come. I had hoped to hear from you before now. I will come [to Vermont] for you, as I told you in my last, any time you want me to do so. I am afraid you did not get my letter. I shall give this the same direction, that is to Fayetteville. I shall also write to Mr. Mead the same thing.

My love to Uncle and Aunt and Cousin Mary.

Affectionately, your son,
RUTHERFORD.

P. S. — When I come I shall stop a few days at Washington on my way to Vermont.

MRS. SOPHIA HAYES,
Fayetteville, Vermont.
