COLUMBUS, July 2, 1868.
MY DEAR S——: —I hope I have
not got myself in a scrape with you. I did not dream that your paper would not
appear Saturday P. M. Your letter spoke of "selling it by the time I had
comfortably concluded, etc., etc.," and so I gave it to all the other
Cincinnati papers and I now have slips this morning from the Commercial, etc. But how will it do to
print in your last edition Friday? There was no understanding with other
papers. Their correspondents asked for it, and they copied it. Do just what you
please with it. Mahoning is a great way off.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
