The Writings of Carl Schurz/From Ex-President Hayes, March 10th, 1881

Fremont, O., March 10, 1881.

My dear General: A thousand thanks for your gratifying letter. We are, and we shall be I hope always, more than political friends—personal friends. Your interests, your career, your family will be in my thoughts and heart. Let it be so and let us enjoy it.

The two happiest people in the country are here in “Spiegel Grove,” where we hope to see you and yours often. Love to the young folks.—Ever,

R. B. Hayes.
