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.
