COLUMBUS, January 18, 1869.
DEAR UNCLE:—I received yours enclosing draft for $551.68, proceeds of bond for which I am obliged.
We are all very well. The Legislature comes together in good feeling, and the past week has been an animated time, meeting friends, acquaintances, and strangers. Mr. Emmitt has placed two more statues in the rotunda which I suppose are really by Mead. They are about one-third life-size and very pretty.
The best book of the sort I have seen is "Personal Sketches of Grant" by Richardson, author of "Field, Dungeon, and Escape," which you have. I will bring it up when I come two or three weeks hence.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
