Congressman Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, December 1, 1866

WASHINGTON, D. C., [December 1, 1866.]

DEAR UNCLE:— We reached here this morning. Ruddy thinks better of Washington since he got acquainted with the boys of Mr. Eggleston and Colonel McKee. We are settling down rapidly

and shall be at home as much as ever in a day or two. The meeting of members after their separation is like old college days.
