Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to General Manning F. Force, March 17, 1870

COLUMBUS, March 17, 1870.

MY DEAR GENERAL:— I enclose you a letter and newspaper slip just received from Rogers which will enlighten you on Duluth prospects. Please return them. I am particularly anxious to have Rogers interested in this property, as he is the discoverer. Can you give him a third interest in your lots, he to pay his share and interest at next payment? I propose to get a joint interest with him on some such terms. He can be very useful in protecting us from loss by sales, etc., etc., at proper times.

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
GENERAL M. F. FORCE,
        Cincinnati, Ohio.
