temperature was 99.2. On Saturday, between
morning and midnight, the President had three
chills; yesterday he had none he enjoyed good
sleep and retained his food, and his fever abated.
Drs. Hamilton and Agnew, one of whom will
always be with the President hereafter, both
expressed themselves in hopeful terms to Mrs.
Garfield, stating among other things that no
alarm need be felt if there should be sli ght
chills, as another complication of the kind
just dealt with could be promptly met.
Last evening DR.. Reyburn openly expressed the
opinion that the President would recover, and
1t was the general impression about the White
House that while the surgeons were not willing
to commit themselves publicly to this view,
they believed that the crisis, which began with
