CINCINNATI, April 10,
1861.
DEAR UNCLE: — You spoke too late. I am again settled in a
respectable practice. I tried a case today and shall try another tomorrow. Mr.
Hassaurek, the German who gets the highest office, viz., nine thousand feet
above the sea at Quito, leaves a good German practice. I have taken it with his
half-brother, a bright, gentlemanly, popular young German.1 It will
have both advantages and drawbacks, but it was the best that offered, and not
getting a letter from you, I left the solicitor's office yesterday and entered
my new quarters at once. I enclose my card for the German side of the house. I
feel free and jolly.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
