Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes
    

“Our new colonel is personally an agreeable gentleman…”—Rutherford B. Hayes

CAMP CHASE, June 28, 1861.

DEAR UNCLE:–I found all well at home and at Columbus– all feeling anxious about you. I gave as favorable an account of your health as I could conscientiously.

I am again in camp. Our new colonel is personally an agreeable gentleman to be associated with; in experience and education, equal to the place; but probably deficient in physical health and energy. . . .

Sincerely,

R. B. HAYES.

S. BIRCHARD.
