COLUMBUS, May 1, 1869.
DEAR S——:— I am
obliged for your frank letter. It comes nearer the core of the matter than any
word I have yet had. I may not act on it, but the chances are that I shall. I
have a sort of pledge out to appoint the choice of the school men. If they by
their letters, etc., etc., do decidedly make a choice, I shall act on it even
of it takes the man you dislike. But it looks now as if I should be left free.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
WILLIAM HENRY SMITH.
