22 July 1889

The friends who have sent telegraphic messages, letters, floral tributes and newspaper articles, tokens of their regard for Mrs. Hayes and of sympathy with me and my family, are so numerous that I can not, by the use of the pen alone, within the time it ought to be done, suitably express to all of them my gratitude and thanks.

I therefore beg them to excuse me for sending in this form my assurance of the fullest appreciation of their kindness, and of my lasting and heartfelt obligation to each of them.

My Dear General:

Your kind note was very welcome. Mrs. Hayes never failed to speak of you with the greatest interest and regard. I beg you to present our thanks to Mrs. Casey.

Sincerely

Rutherford B. Hayes

Gen. Thos Lincoln Casey
