Eighty Days by Michael Ceraolo

               July 14, 1881

Garfield:

I once considered correspondence

to be the great drudgery of my life,

but now my goal is to recover enough

to resume that 'great drudgery'

Guiteau:

"When all these matters,

my life,

             my address

                                etc.

get before the public and they know just why

I assassinated the president

there will be a big reaction in my favor

I don't know how long I will have to remain here

It depends on how soon the president dies."
