Rutherford B. Hayes to Thomas H. Weasner, March 22, 1861

Private Strictly.
CINCINNATI, March 22, 1861.

DEAR SIR: — I am on my way to Columbus and stopped at your house to say for your own private ear, and as your friend, that I would not [if in your place] consent to be a candidate for mayor in Eggleston's place. This is not your best time. I shall say this to nobody else, but as a looker-on and as one interested, I think what I say is true. Think of it well before you consent.

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
TO THOMAS H. WEASNER.
