TILDEN TO GOVERNOR CLEVELAND
"Greystone, Yonkers, N. Y., January 2, 1885.
"Dear Governor Cleveland,—When you shall relieve yourself of the urgent duties of your present office, if it will be agreeable to you to take a few days' repose at Greystone, it will give me great pleasure to welcome you, and make you as comfortable as possible. I shall be happy to invite Mr. and Mrs. Manning at the same time—which intention, I believe, has already been communicated to you.
"With cordial regards, I am,
"Very truly yours,
"(Signed) S. J. Tilden."
TILDEN TO HUGH McCULLOCH
"Greystone, Yonkers, N. Y., January 24, 1885.
"Dear Mr. McCulloch,—I have received the reports which you were kind enough to send me, and for which please accept my thanks.
"I note your remark that you hope to have the pleasure of meeting me in Washington. I presume you have seen the rumor in the public journals that I have taken rooms in Washington. That rumor is unfounded. I have a disorder of the nerves of motion, which is aggravated by the fatigue and exposure of travel. I therefore forego all such pleasures.
