Received at MANSFIELD, OHIO, 1.40.
To Honorable John Sherman:
I am just back from
the White House. The President is reported to have passed a night of pain,
which gave rise to unfavorable reports; but the attending physicians, Bliss,
Barnes, Woodward, and Reyburn, have made public the bulletins. Each warrants us
to hope for recovery. Everything here is as quiet as the Sabbath.
W. T. SHERMAN,
General.
