This publication contains a single letter from Hawley to Warner. He had fully expected to be a senatorial candidate again in 1881, but he thought Marshall Jewell might be glad to see him vice-president for the sake of leaving the senatorial field clear for Jewell. Of course both ends of the ticket would not be taken from New England, nor would it do to put two generals on. Hence Hawley did not expect preferment if either Grant or Blaine was nominated, or Edmunds. With John Sherman of Ohio at the head of the ticket he felt it might be different. Thus, he wrote on May 29 to Warner, who was in Chicago. Subjects of this letter include: senator, Jewell, John Sherman, Chicago, Ohio, Grant, Blaine, and politics.

This publication contains one letter from Hawley to Warner. Close association in the senate with Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont had somewhat weakened his admiration for that gentleman as a presidential possibility. He still conceded Edmunds's great ability as a lawyer and legislator and the soundness of his character, but he did not regard him as likely to be a great leader of the people. Hence, the ardor for Edmunds' nomination which he once expressed had cooled and he was inclined to resent the efforts of other New Englanders to get Connecticut into line for the Vermonter. Of all these things he wrote to Warner. Subjects of this publication include: Senator George F. Edmunds of Vermont, nomination, New England, Connecticut, and Vermont.
