Governor Rutherford B. Hayes, November 4, 1869

COLUMBUS, November 4, 1869.

Honorable Richard M. Corwine, of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a lawyer of large experience, whose practice in the higher courts of the State and of the United States for many years has given him wide reputation. He has devoted himself to his profession almost without interruption more than twenty-five years. Whatever qualifications for the discharge of important judicial duties can be acquired by a gentleman of intellect, of excellent temper and manners, and of great industry, may be justly claimed for Mr. Corwine.

R. B. HAYES.
