COLUMBUS, June 26, 1869.
DEAR GENERAL:—Looking over the letters opened and read hastily on the day of the convention,* I find the enclosed which is no doubt the lost letter to you.
Your capital speech the other day, the night of the 23rd, I have read with great satisfaction, and I hope you will make your arrangements to speak for the committee during the canvass and at a long list of meetings.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
J. A. GARFIELD. _______________
*The State Republican Convention, June 23, at Columbus, which renominated Mr. Hayes by acclamation.
