COLUMBUS, December 11, 1869.
DEAR SIR: — I am today in receipt of your letter of the 8th inst., inclosing letters from gentlemen of your acquaintance, showing their opinion that you are acting in good faith in making a claim on me for money deposited with me by your son. Assuming that they are innocent, somebody is guilty of an attempt to impose on you. There is no truth whatever in the story about [Private Nelson J.] Leroy leaving money with me. Your friends can have no objection to giving me the names in full and postoffice addresses of your informants that I may investigate the whole matter.
Yours, etc.,
R. B. HAYES.
JAMES LEROY, Sparta, Wisconsin.
