WASHINGTON, D. C., January 21, 1866.
DEAR MOTHER:— Lucy got here Thursday evening and is, in a quiet way, enjoying life here very much. We have been as yet to no receptions or parties, but find plenty to interest and amuse in the public buildings, courts, and Congress. The weather is bright and bracing. Lucy and I went to the preaching of Mr. Boynton at the Capitol today and heard a good sound talk to a large fine audience. The House makes a beautiful place for worship.
Affectionately,
R.
MRS. SOPHIA HAYES.
