finds that the mental strain incident to
such visits is seriously affecting his
health"

man of his temperament the excite
ment and mental strain incident to
the various public functions in which
he has been a participant have proved
unusually trying. He will remain as
quiet as possible for the balance of the
winter, and it is hoped by next spring
he will be able to take short trip

inhabitants have been so anxious to
welcome hi
