ELBERON, N. J.,
September 17, 1881.
9 A. M.
At the morning examination and dressing of the President the temperature was 99.8°; pulse, 108, and respiration, 21.
The fluctuations of the pulse during the night varied from 116 to 130, the temperature during this time not deviating much from normal.
He slept quite well, taking nourishment at proper intervals. His cough was not troublesome, and the expectoration moderate. The discharge from the wound is more healthy, and the color of the granulations slightly improved.
