A letter from E P Hatch about a reported conversation between Senator Bruce and President Hayes in which Bruce was reported saying "that he was not, and had not been, the friend of the colored people, and that he could pursue his course and that you would pursue yours." Hatch is asking Bruce if this is true, as well as what his views actually are so that as Bruce's friend if asked he knows. Hatch also mentions a speech that Bruce had sent him, as well as asking for copies of any speeches Bruce had in print. Hatch also makes a request for seeds. This letter was typed, but did have some edits in pencil written in.
