Answer:

The author thinks that Lincoln will die from his gun shot wounds but thinks that Seward will survive his knife wounds

Explanation:

In the narration of events that happened on that night, the author expresses his thoughts vividly on the present state of the President and that of his Secretary of State.

In the words of the author, "the pistol ball entered the back of the President's head. The wound is mortal. The President has been insensible ever since it was inflicted, and is now dying".

A mortal wound is one that results to death. The author also said that the President is dying.

Regarding Seward, the author thinks that he may survive the knife wounds. He expressed this when he said this about the knife wounds, "it is hoped it the wounds may not be mortal". Though the author expressed fears it could be worse, but he sounded more hopeful for Seward than the President.
