Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, June 4, 1869

COLUMBUS, June 4, 1869.

DEAR UNCLE:— I returned from the East Tuesday night, and found all at home as usual. My trip was in all respects very interesting. Nothing was pleasanter than a look through the Art Gallery, Stewart's new store, and the view from Nordhoff's cottage on the Palisades of the Hudson. The best talks I heard were those of Mr. Kennedy, the superintendent of the metropolitan police, the successor of old Hayes. I was with him the most of two days. All well.

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
