The President has slept a few moments, but is manifestly weaker. Pulse 140, and feeble.

This post is one of a series reenacting the official bulletins released to the public by the physicians to President Garfield during his illness after the shooting on July 2, 1881.
Thank you for posting these bulletins to help the rest of us relive the summer of 1881.
