COLUMBUS, December 29, 1869.
DEAR SIR:—I am asked to write you in behalf of young Hosea, now in the State Prison of your State. I have no knowledge of him or of his crime. There is no doubt that his widowed mother is a most estimable woman, and that the gentlemen who take an interest in the case are worthy in all respects. Dr. Wadsworth, who will visit you, is, I know, an upright, conscientious, and truthful gentleman. I bespeak for him and his statements the utmost confidence and consideration.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
GENERAL J. W. GEARY, GOVERNOR OF PENNSYLVANIA.
