EXECUTIVE MANSION,
August 27, 1881.
8.30 A. M.
The President slept from half an hour to an hour, or more, at a time throughout the night. He continues to retain the liquid food administered by the mouth, and the stimulating enemata; nevertheless his pulse has been more frequent since midnight, and he is evidently feebler this morning than yesterday. Pulse, 120; temperature 98.4°; respiration 22.
