Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, September 27, 1869

COLUMBUS, OHIO, September 27, 1869.

DEAR UNCLE:—I am getting on very well. Came home last Saturday. . . . I start out again this afternoon to be gone until the last of the week.

As I have told you all along, the result of an apathetic election is always in doubt and this election is badly apathetic. But it looks better to me and I now think our chance is decidedly the best.

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