CINCINNATI, October 9, 1867.
MY DEAR UNCLE:—You need not be told how much the result of the election disappoints me. You know I will bear it cheerfully and with philosophy. It is however a puzzling thing to decide now what is next to be done. Assuming that I am beaten, which I do not doubt, I must choose my path anew. I will see you and talk it all over soon. No man in my place would probably have done differently, but the thing is over, and now for a sensible future. I feel sorry for the boys — especially Birch.
I hope your health is good, and that you will borrow no trouble on account of this.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
