COLUMBUS, April 3, 1869.
DEAR UNCLE:— The
best thing of my administration, I suspect, will be the beginning of the
geological survey. It carried very handsomely in both branches. Now comes the
important point. Who is to be chief geologist? My prepossessions are for
Professor Newberry. Please ask Mr. Bushnell about it and get him to write me,
showing him or telling him what I say.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
