Entirely in his hand a single page unlined letter sheet reading as follows: ‘Columbus, O. 2 Sept. 1876. Dear Sir: On behalf of Mrs. Hayes and for myself I wish to thank you for the superb portrait of ? ? ? the explorer of Brazil and a large photographs received from Mr. Ross yesterday. We shall prize them very much. When opportunity arise I shall be glad to have photographs taken by you of Mrs. H. & myself. Sincerely R.B. Hays’ Hays handwriting is truly atrocious. It would seem that the person being written to was a well known, but unnamed American photographer. Hayes was the newly elected Governor of Ohio and Republican nominee for President at this time, and only 2 months from being elected the 19th President of the U.S.
