“I dislike to say anything about Wight for serious reasons & would not to any but you.
“He is a man of great ability, very much above the average and is an earnest and true & true Republican, always straight but he has a violent temper & an entire lack of culture, with hardly sufficient weight of character to obtain the confidence of the community.
“On the whole I think he had perhaps better be appointed for he has much more ability than any one else who will apply and I think his appointment will have a tendency to make him more careful of his temper & his relations to the community. He is one of our best working men & has never done anything really bad that I know of. I must ask you to regard this as strictly private (except to the Gov.) for reasons which I will explain when I see you...Thayer”
The New York Times reported that Thayer committed suicide.
