You still hope for recovery"
"Yes, hope for it,"
"But what IL your iudgment-your be-

any belief is that the President cannot
recover. II Il were not for the local tr0u-
bic, | mean the condition OF the parotic
gland, he might gain strength and make
progress, but DO not see how the process
OF repair can begin or go on In the pre-
senee Of that complication"
eff there should be no improvement, how
long would the patient probably hold

Il should think be might live two or
three days. do not think death will &C.

faculties will fail before the end comess :"
Eyes, | presume desth will be preceded
BY a period Of Inconsistencies"

for any other members Of toe family 7"
"No; do not think it is our place 10
make that suggestion. Mrs. Garfield
knows perfectly well bow the President IS"
"Has any one been admitted to the room
