THE GENERAL READY TO co.
Mr. McGREGoR, July 24th-WmIe sit
ting on the hotel veranda this afternoon.
Dr. Douglas ohatted at length with the
correspondent Of the Associated Press
about General Grant and of the long trial
of suffering Just ended. Do you remem-
ber said DR.. Douglas that during last
week | said to you that there was subsi-
dence of the swelling in the everything
tissues OF the right side OF the neck, and
that said on the day spoke about it that
had been able to examine the General
throat much deeper and with greater case
than in = long time-dO YOU remember
that?' His hearer recollected it clearly,
and said 50. Wei, then, resumed
Douglas am going 20 tell you
of an experience had with
General Grant on the afternoon Of Thurs
day, July 1G,h, and al thc time had OBJ
served the indications about the throat
which | spoke of. During The afternoon
of that day the General wrote this'-and
Douglas drew from his pocket several slips
written by the General and read what the
sick man had written, as follows Il feel
sorry at the prospect Of living through the
summer and fall in the condition | am in

than in any other way, or rather. in the
lack OF q desire to tl'y to move" When I
had read that" added DR. Douglas, d"
turned to the General and tried to cheer him
by telling him OF the apparently improved
condition Of his throat and neck. TO which.
in reply, the General again wrote After all
that however, the disease is still there and
must be fatal in the end. MY life is pre-
cious of course, to my family, and would
be 10 me if could recover entirely. There
never was one more willing to go than /

another little thing to fix up, and never
get quite through. This was partially my
case. | first wanted so many days to work

clearly mine. 1t was graciously granted to
