Bryan-Hayes Correspondence
HAYES TO BRYAN
Fremont, 25 June 1876
My Dear Guy:
I have your two letters, and feel and appreciate all you say.
You ought to support any good Democrat against me. We feel
very much alike, but on one or two topics my notion of the remedy
is surely not yours. On money, corruption, extravagance, the civil
service, &c. &c., we agree in our conviction, no doubt. I am not

first letters after your nomination. In this your feeling has the
freshness and truth of our early and long attachment associated

allusion to your Uncle and sister Fanny. I shall ever cherish the
heart memory of these dear ones so intimately associated with you
and happy days. Your sister with her loving heart and speaking
face that made her home mine, and filled that home with sun-
shine, and that good and pure man and true friend "Uncle Birch-
