WASHINGTON, July 2,
1867.
MY DARLING:—We got
here at five this afternoon; had a good trip. The boys looked and behaved well.
At first both a little subdued, but before we got here Webb recovered and was
on good terms with the Members of Congress on board; in fact, I am afraid that
in another day he would have pulled Senator Chandler's nose and punched Senator
Howard in the stomach! Birch took to the guidebook and is up on geography,
distances, places, etc., etc.
Affectionately,
R. B. HAYES.
MRS. HAYES.
