Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, March 20, 1870

COLUMBUS, OHIO, March 20, 1870.

DEAR UNCLE:— I am rather busy now. The appointment of Agricultural College Trustees excites some interest. I think I shall get a good board. In your district I must appoint a Democrat, and have pretty much determined to appoint Warren P. Nobles, of Seneca. I have offered Pendleton a place, and if he accepts will give the other to A. P. Perry.

I am rather gratified by the turn things are taking. I regard the Orphans' Bill as safe in some form.

Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.
        Private and Confidential.
