Congressman Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, December 28, 1866

NEW ORLEANS. December 28, 1866.

DEAR UNCLE:— On the opposite page is General Beauregard's autograph which please save. He wrote it this minute.

One of the pleasant points in this trip is making the acquaintance of the leading Rebel officers.

We are doing finely, shall probably return to Washington and Lucy will go to Fremont soon after.—Love to boys.

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