Congressman Rutherford B. Hayes to Lucy Webb Hayes, July 14, 1867

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 14, 1867.

MY DARLING:—Nothing but good things to say about the boys. I asked Birch whether he wouldn't prefer going to New York and Niagara to going direct to Cincinnati. "No," says he, "you see I haven't seen Mama for a long time, not since April, and I want to see where she is living." It looks as if we could start home the last of this or the first of next week. Much love to you, dearest.

Affectionately ever,
R.
MRS. HAYES.
