she should return to Texas thinking of you as I have told her
she would, when she knew you.
With affectionate regards to Mrs. Hayes and your children,
I am as ever
Your friend,

P. S. Hally sends love and a Merry Christmas, and happy
New Year greeting to Fanny. Laura is still in Va. at school.
I have not seen her for more than a year. Willie is still on the
Brazos in Perry Bryan's store; he is well.
BRYAN TO HAYES
Galveston, March 10th, 1880.
Dear Rud:
I understand there is some doubt about the confirmation of
Phillips for marshal of this District. Should he be withdrawn
or rejected, I take pleasure in stating to you that Mr. I. C. Ogle
of this city, a Republican of influence and good standing with
his party and the community of Galveston, sensible and efficient
as a man, a deacon of the Baptist Church, industrious and a use-
ful and respected member of society, would make a good officer as
Marshal if appointed. His appointment would be acceptable to
good men of both parties. Mr. Ogle has been a resident of
Texas for twenty-one years. He was a Whig, and a Union man
during the war, and a Republican since. He was the first man
I heard say that he was for you for President; he said this to
me directly after the publication of my letter to Norton, and
adhered to it throughout. His family was originally from Penn-
sylvania, but he is I believe a native of West Va. I do not
think you can make any mistake in nominating him. 1 thank
you sincerely for your and Mrs. Hayes kind attentions to my
niece Betty. She is greatly pleased with you and Mrs. Hayes,
and you have the heartfelt thanks of her parents for the same.
Write me.
Yours as ever,
Guy M. Bryan.
P. S. Griffin is a Carpetbagger, and has been in office ever
since he came to Texas.166
