COLUMBUS, OHIO, November 8, 1869.
DEAR CORWINE: You have the joke on me if I have not on you. The word to my eye is plainly judicial not political. Either my writing or your reading is greatly at fault.
I can say nothing further as yet. Indeed, I feel some embarrassment may arise in doing so much as I have. I trust my letter will not be used or mentioned, if it does not seem necessary to do it. It is strictly within my rule and perfectly proper, but others might not so see it.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
RICHARD M. CORWINE.
