| Description | Thanks for his kind message recommending application of a small blister behind the ear: the accuracy of the Duchess of Gloucester's report that day on their brother, with the considerable advance of disease, but with bulletin giving hope of amendment: her prayers to God for him to be spared from anguish, whether he is to live on for the remainder of his days or die in tranquility and without pain: thanks for his advice, the attacks on her eye being spasmodic and at different times of the day: Sir Henry having asked for his opinion, which was strenuously for the application of a blister, and his indebtedness for it: hopes for relief provided by the blister and for the restoration of the monarch to his people.
Saturday evening 8 May, no year given, but almost certainly written a few weeks before the death of George IV on 26 June 1830.
Sheet, with 1½ pages of text, handwriting difficult to read. |
