COLUMBUS, September 29, 1867.
MY DARLING:—I am writing from Laura's pleasant home—the next place to my wife's in homelikeness and comfort.
I did hope to see you at 383 this morning but to do so would give me two night rides, one to go and another to get back to the Reserve. So, tired as I was, I gave it up.
A pleasant week, this last. I enjoyed Delaware particularly. I made only a so-so speech there not a failure, but not one of the good ones. Sorry for that, but couldn't help it. At Tiffin and Bucyrus, three hours each had used me up a trifle. I am better than ever.
Affectionately,
R.
MRS. HAYES.
