t.rely consistent with what pOrsey'S state

one Who Was a very intimate friend OF
General Garfield, told me that he said TO
General Garfield that all his real friends

addressing an intimate: "Old fellow. that's
true, but ! am going TO get out of this trOu-
tie into which I was really forced. | will
