WASHINGTON, D. C.,
March 22, 1866.
MY DARLING:— I am
happy in getting yours of the 18th this morning. Mr. Blow of St. Louis had a
small fuss with Green Clay Smith. Smith found Blow kissing Mrs. Smith! Bad
again. Queen Esther still pretty, talks louder than ever and too much and too
fast for a public dining-hall.
A. J. [the
President] is now being tried by another test—the Civil Rights Bill. If he
signs it he gets into the bosom of the family again. If not, more worry.
Affectionately, ever your
R. B. HAYES.
MRS. HAYES.
