Congressman Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, September 23, 1866

CINCINNATI, September 23, 1866.

DEAR UNCLE:— I send the boys to go to school or not at Fremont as you prefer. It is probable that they will stay with you, if you wish it, all winter, but I do not want that considered as absolutely settled until I see you after the election.

The canvass is an exceedingly pleasant one. The meetings are large and attentive and the prospect good. The Democrats are now working pretty well, especially in Eggleston's district, but they can't, I think, get anything in this county.

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
