Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, August 17, 1867

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, August 17, 1867.

DEAR UNCLE:—I write from here not knowing if I shall have time to do so at home. I go home to spend Sunday today. Thus far all goes pleasantly. Luckily my best speech was to my best audience, and where I would have preferred it, at Dayton. Nobody with me yet. I expect Buck [land] next week.

Yours,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
