ALS, signed “Rutherford B. Hayes,” one page, 5.5 x 8.5, March 21, 1892. Hayes sends apologies for the delay in his reply to the recipient. In part: “I have a dim notion that I have already written you in reply … but it does not so appear, as I find the letter in the pile of unattended papers on my table and at any rate, ‘it is better to be twice right than once wrong,’ therefore I with thanks for your kind expressions am yours….” In fine, crisp condition. Hayes’ full signature—which is uncommon, particularly on non-official correspondence—and superb, immaculate appearance make for an exceptional specimen for your presidential collection! LOA John Reznikoff/PSA/DNA and R&R COA.
