COLUMBUS, July 14, 1868.
DEAR UNCLE:
Joel Bryan's wife, son, and
daughter were here this morning. Had a pleasant time with them. The son, Guy,
is a fine, excellent young man of twenty-six years sensible, intelligent, etc.
The old friends are all prosperous. Negro business in that county works well—no
fuss or trouble. The young man is a Democrat and was at New York [National
Democratic Convention], but is free from bigotry and nonsense; takes cheerful
and sensible views of things.
I go to Cincinnati tomorrow
to stay a few days. Yes, hurrah for Seymour and Blair! The thing is a wet
blanket here to our Democrats. The prospect has certainly improved for us.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
