 He will deny himself to all callers, ex- cept immediate members of his family, 1t is said, and a very few intimate friends with whom throughout his ill- Eess he has kept in contact
 No formal engagements of any charac- ter are expected to be made by the President until he shall have thoroughiy adjusted himself to private life after some ten years in public service. Even the writing which he has planned to do upon his retirement from the White House will he postponed for several months nls friends say.
