from Eighty Days
Michael Ceraolo
July 3, 1881
Garfield:
Crete had returned last evening at seven,
said “I am here to nurse you back to life”
then said “Please do not speak of death again”
And merely by making it to today
my chances of survival are growing
Guiteau:
“Two points will be accomplished”
“It will save the Republic,
and
create a demand for my book,
The Truth . . . written to save souls
In order to attract public attention
the book needs the notice
the President’s removal will give it”
