EXECUTIVE MANSION,
July 29, 1881.
8.30 A. M.
Immediately after the evening dressing yesterday the President’s afternoon fever began to gradually subside. He slept well during the night, and this morning is free from fever, looks well, and expresses himself cheerfully. No rigors have occurred during the past twenty-four hours, nor indeed at any time since the 25th instant. A moderate rise of temperature in the afternoon is to be anticipated for some days to come. At present his pulse is 92; temperature, 98.4°; respiration, 18.
