Congressman Rutherford B. Hayes to Lucy Webb Hayes, October 15, 1866

FORT WAYNE, INDIANA, October 15, 1866.

MY DARLING:— I got here this evening en route for the Pacific Railroad. Buckland joins me at Chicago. We go from Chicago to [by] the Hannibal and Saint Joseph Railroad, and from Saint Joseph by steamboat to Omaha and so out west. We expect to return in about ten days, and hope to meet you at Fremont about the 25th or 26th.

The boys are very happy and well. You will be so proud of them - two great boys they are. I told them you would come with Rud and Dr. Joe. They will expect you.

Love to all. Affectionately,
R.
MRS. HAYES.
