Congressman Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, July 7, 1866

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 7, 1866.

DEAR UNCLE:— Have you melted away? Not heard from you for a good many hot days.

We have the inevitable tariff before us noon and night. I hope we shall get off in a fortnight. A little cholera wouldn't be bad now. Anything to get up a scatterment. - Write a word.

Yours,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
