Nineteenth president Rutherford B. Hayes writes to his nephew John G. Mitchell, Jr: "My Dear Nephew: Your photograph is a very excellent one. All the faces are good--a rare thing in a group. Your mother and Aunt Loo & Fanny are particularly. I shall prize the picture. Accept my special thanks for it. Tell your mother we are quite likely to get a very good copy of the Honeymoon Portrait of Aunt Loo & Uncle Ruddy. I send you one of Lucy Keeler & R__ K__. With best wishes & love to your mother & all. Sincerely your Uncle Ruddy, Rutherford B. Hayes."
