my arduous duties, I was STACKED in Novem-
Der Inst with inflammation fof the lungs al and
WAS for ,seyenty two days in the hospital. THIS
was followed BY great debility, heightened by
an attack of dysentery. - I was then removed
from the White House, and sent to this city on

landed on the 2Sth of June. Since that time
Inave been about as low as any one could he
and still retain spark of vitality. For
