"Friend Ogler: I have been subpoenaed in the Guiteau case on the part of the defense. I remember of hearing you tell of the funny and strange actions of the Guiteaus. I shall leave for Washington next week. i think you would be a good witness. I believe that both Charles Guiteau and his father were crasey on religion. I wished you would write to me stating the peculiar transactions of both old man Guiteau and Abraham his brother. I will then mention the facts to Scoville the attorney and if he thinks it necessary he will subpoena you ..." (Scoville was both Guiteau's brother-in-law and counsel for the case).
