Letter to Lucy Webb Hayes (25 August 1861)
Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1922 - 1926)
Context: I never enjoyed any business or mode of life as much as I do this. I really feel badly when I think of several of my intimate friends who are compelled to stay at home. These marches and campaigns in the hills of western Virginia will always be among the pleasantest things I can remember. I know we are in frequent perils, that we may never return and all that, but the feeling that I am where I ought to be is a full compensation for all that is sinister, leaving me free to enjoy as if on a pleasure tour.
“After all these years, I feel so free. Who knows where I might fly?”
