ELBERON, N. J.,
September 8, 1881.
8.30 A. M.
At the morning examination made at 8 o’clock, the President’s pulse was 104; temperature, 98.7°, and respiration, 18. He was restless and wakeful during the early part of the night, but after 12 (midnight) slept well until morning. His general condition appears more encouraging.
