Rutherford B. Hayes to William Henry Smith, November 17, 1867

CINCINNATI, November 17, 1867.

DEAR S—:—I went to Columbus to get quarters and for nothing else. I did hear General Cox's whole mind, as I suppose, and I agree with him throughout. That does not include your ideas as to General D——. I do not hear that he is a candidate for the adjutant-generalship. The pressure idea is foolish enough.

Be serene! I'll talk it all up before jumping in.

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
WILLIAM HENRY SMITH,
        Columbus, Ohio.
