Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to William Henry Smith, February 17, 1868

COLUMBUS, OHIO, February 17, 1868.

DEAR S—I have thought of writing to the friends of some of the early governors for portraits. Some I am sure I can get by simply asking—as McArthur, Trimble, etc., etc. I merely write for suggestions supposing you may know or may have done something which would change my idea.

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