He was very strong and took a full supply of nourishment. He slept occasionally as usual, and the doctors went to the hotel for supper. Soon after their return the usual preparations for the night were made. At about 9.20 o’clock General Sheridan said ‘good night” to his brother, who went to the hotel.
