General William T. Sherman to Senator John Sherman, August 25, 1881

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES,        
Aug. 25, 1881.

Dear Brother: The President's condition is now absolutely critical, and surely many days cannot now pass without some turn. He is so weak now that he cannot endure a relapse.

Yours affectionately,
W. T. SHERMAN.
