Consists of two autograph letters signed by Rutherford B. Hayes from the Executive Mansion to James A. Garfield and a newspaper clipping. In a letter dated 10 March 1877, Hayes states his preference that Garfield remain in the House of Representatives rather than seek a Senate seat. The newspaper clipping, from the Cincinnati Commercial of 18 October 1877, includes the corrected transcript of a letter Hayes wrote to Garfield on 11 March 1877 regarding the same subject. The other undated letter invites the Garfields to celebrate the Hayes' 25th wedding anniversary on 31 December 1877. Both letters are on Executive Mansion stationery, are addressed to "My Dear General," and include the original envelopes.
