Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to DeWitt Clinton Wilson, December 11, 1869

COLUMBUS, December 11, 1869.

DEAR SIR: — I am today in receipt of your letter of the 8th inst., expressing the opinion that Mr. James Leroy is honest in making a claim against me for money left with me by his son. There is no foundation for the claims and to enable me to discover who is the guilty party in getting up the claim, I will be obliged to you if you will give me the names and address of the parties whose statements you refer to, "oral and written," which you have heard and seen.

Respectfully,
R. B. HAYES.
HONORABLE D. W. C. WILSON,
        Sparta, Wisconsin.
