WASHINGTON, D. C., April 12, 1866.
DEAR MOTHER:— The appearance of things here has improved decidedly since the passage of the Civil Rights Bill over the veto. Both President and Congress feel better. After growling at each other a long time, they have come to blows and that being over they are nearer being friends again. . . .
Affectionately,
R. B. HAYES.
MRS. SOPHIA HAYES.
