Gov Yates.

Dr Sir,

I am not acquainted with Mr. Foster other than by this letter. I know Judge Tyler personally well. I have known him for twenty years - and know that he would not recommend a person to your excellency who was unworthy to be appointed. I hope you can give him some place.

Yours truly,

O.M. Hatch
