COLUMBUS, OHIO, February 5, 1870.
MY DEAR SIR: — I am in receipt of your favor of the 4th as to the St. Clair papers. I hope there is a fair prospect of the passage of an act authorizing their purchase, but I am not sanguine. Of course, nobody would think of the State buying them for the Cincinnati or any other local society. If bought they will be deposited in the State Library. I agree with you that your title by discovery, if they are to be given away, would give you a claim to be considered.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
A. T. GOODMAN, ESQ., Cleveland, Ohio.
