EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON, June 4, 1877.
MY DEAR S-: - I have your note of the 28th and in accord-
ance with its suggestion I telegraphed Mr. Medill my wish that
he would visit Washington.+ I got no reply, but I still hope to
see him. I am very desirous to do so. There is a world of mat-
ters I would like to confer with him about. If he comes we will
go over all the topics together, and I am sure it will be useful
to me, and I hope satisfactory to him.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
HONORABLE WILLIAM H. SMITH.
+Mr. Smith had written that Mr. Medill, editor of the Tribune, was
"disgusted" at talk of the appointment of General Logan, and "sore anyway
over the failure to recognize [Elmer] Washburne."
