. . . Anxious as we all are to have you return we
trust you will remain until your health has permanently improved, unless the
necessities of the service here make your presence indispensable. In the latter
case we shall promptly telegraph you to come. I will show portions of your
letter to the General in the morning and to-morrow will give you his views on
the subject. I regret to say that Grant has been quite unwell for the past ten
days. He feels languid and feeble and is hardly able to keep about, yet he
tends to business promptly and his daily walk and conduct are unexceptionable.

James Harrison Wilson, The
Life of John A. Rawlins, p. 258
