SENIOR RoMERo's OPINION.
Senor Romero called at the Grant mansion
during the afternoon. On leaving he said
fha De inn, ~,
in his face and pulse. He takes food with
more relish and talks more cheerfully with
his family. He was kept under the influence
of morphia all the time when he was not
under the influence of anodyne. The pain
was only bearable by himself. In the
opinion of Senior Romero Gen. Grant has,
however, more time to live than the doctors
grant him.
