ELBERON, N. J.,
September 12, 1881.
9 A. M.
The President passed an unusually good night, his sleep being uninterrupted, except occasionally to enable him to take nourishment. The suppuration from the parotid has almost entirely ceased; the openings from which the pus discharged are rapidly healing.
The cough is less and the expectoration materially diminished. Temperature, 98.4°; pulse, 100; respiration, 18.
