Rockwell, OF this city, brOtber-in-Iaw OF
Pres ident Garfield, yesterday received the
following very hopeful letter from DR.. s.
A. Boyniou, who has been for many years
physician OF the Garfield family, and is now
in constant attendance at the White House
" Executive Mansion, Washington, Au.
| gust u MY Dear Sir,-YOuT favor OF the
10Th is received. Newspapers get things
mixed somewhat. The President is in a
much better condition now than at any time
since his injury, and is improving every
day, with every prospect OF going on TO re-
coyery. Since you left he was obliged 10
undergo a pretty severe operation, which
promises to be the last in the way
OF cutting. You need feel no anxiety,
| for his recovery is only matter OF
time. In regard to nursing, we now
have things we'll arranged. Mrs. Edison
takes him one night until A. NJ. and Gen
eral Swain follows her, and remains until !
A. NJ. / then take bin and remain with
him until Mrs. Edison returns some time
during the day, and then she and / take
turns staying WITH him during the day.
Next night stay with him until A. NJ,
then Colonel Rockwell follows me and re-
mains until A. NJ, when | again take him ;
and so it goes day after day and night after
night. read your letter TO President and
Mrs. Garfield. They send their love, and
say YOU need not think OF coming back, for
he is getting along so well that he will not
need so much care after few days. lie is
weak, but is much stronger than when you
left him, ana in very good condition every
way. >. A. BOTNTON."
MUCH ANXIETY on ALL SIDES.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, 2:l5 i. H-(Unofii-
cial. Much anxiety is exhibited through
out the city regarding the Presidents con-
dition, and numbers Of inquiries have been
made At the mansion through the day. The

House to receive the 1890 =. NJ. bulletin
| for the respective papers which they repre-
sent. Aside from these, many requests Tor
- latest news" have been received from
| the several executive departments. The
temperature aud respiration, as stated in he
last bulletin, are generally conceded a, fa-
yorable indications, but the pulse, which is
given at 11S, causes considerable uneaslness
i'm the public mind. Since the Issuance OF
the bulletin it bias been impossible TO confer
directly with any OF the attending surgeons.
Acknowledgement MacVeagh called short
time ago, and as be was leaving the White
House he said, in reply 10 an interrOgatory,
that DR.. AQnew attributed the unusually
high pulse to the weak condition OF the
patient, caused by The nausea with
which be has been troubled. Attorney
General MacVeagh said further that
the surgeons informed him that there
were no indications OF "pusfeyer,"
and that they hoped they had overcome the
trouble caused by the nausea. III no further
trouble from that source is experienced, 1t

already had. The surgeons took the pa
