Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to Sardis Birchard, March 1, 1870
COLUMBUS, March 1, 1870.
DEAR UNCLE:— I
handed your note to John Deshler this morning with your old question, "Can
you read fine hand?" He said, "Oh yes, I can read this, and I shall
be very happy to do it both for your sake and Mr. Birchard's. My father always
said Sardis Birchard is one of my best friends and one of the best men in Ohio.
I always told him he would get married if it wasn't for that fine
breastpin." So that matter is settled.
All well. Nothing
new.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
S. BIRCHARD.

Governor Rutherford B. Hayes to J. Irving Brooks, March 1, 1870
COLUMBUS, OHIO, March 1, 1870.
MY DEAR SIR:— I
think as you do on the librarian question, and unless something not anticipated
turns up before the appointment is made, my action will be as you advise. I
also agree with you perfectly on the spoils doctrine. This you would know if
you had read my last inaugural. I am glad you do not bore yourself with such
reading generally, but you are in for it now, as I shall send you a copy. I too
mean to be out of politics. The ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment gives
me the boon of equality before the law, terminates my enlistment, and
discharges me cured.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
HONORABLE J. IRVING BROOKS,
Salem, Ohio.
