Congressman Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, April 6, 1867

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 6, 1867.

DEAR UNCLE: —The post-office and collectorship at home have kept me here this week, and may keep me several days yet. It looked as if I could do a good service to the city, to the party, and to some friends, and I would not leave as long as there was a chance of doing it.

All well. Love to the boys.

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