Mr.. Phillips had just seen 20. ia,,
field and received a parting message OF
encouragement and hope to take with
him to the presidents mother. "She is
bearing up wonderfully" said be,
"and does not allow herself to think fol
one moment that the President will not
surely recover" Secretary Lincoln
stopped long enough to say few things
to Colonel Rockwell, and in response to
some queries from your correspondent
said: 81 feel very greatly encouraged
about the Presidents condition; his
physicians speak hopefully and san
guinely. Another thing which makes
me feel that they are sincerely hopeful
is this fact, viz: that they are making
arrangements for a long siege. They are
settling down to business. They ale
now making arrangements for per-
manent air-pump in the cellar that will
keep the room constantly supplied with
plenty of fresh air. To-day they chang
ed the Presidents bed. They have now
a plain, substantial, airy cot, long and
narrow and sufficiently high to allow
the patient to look out the windows on
to the lawn, which presents bright
and cheerful view.
These arrangements are permanent,
for the Presidents ) sickness is going to
be a protracted one. 1t may be many
weeks before he can be moved at all,
and probably will be. 1t will be long
pull, but these things make me think
that his physicians believe he has the
strength to make the fight and win it..
| received to-day letter among others
on the same subject. 1t was from a
Mr.. Brand of Chicago, describing a
wound he hal received, before Peters,
burg think, which is almost similar
with this of the Presidents, in which
one lobe of the liver was pierced bv a
bullet, and yet he fully recovered,
though only after a long period.
Jimmie Garfield was in and out of
the room several times during the even
ing. He seemed quite as hopeful and
enthusiastic as ever. "Papa going to
get we'll again as sure as anything. He
said he was, and when papa says thing
he generally does i. lwould bet odds
he gets well.' Mr.. Brown then enter
ed the room with the last unofficial bull
letin. A patent cooling apparatus was
placed in the sisk room to-day, but its
influence on the atmosphere was scarce
ly appreciable.
