| Description | Addressed to Phippy: the Duchess of Gloucester writing word she expects Waller at Bagshot Park when Princess Sophia is to be there, and of his being better pleased with her eye than last seen: though not a professional man, being sure from personal experience of there being as much danger in delaying the operation as hastening it, and of Alexander having committed two gross blunders in his sister's case, first in not operating earlier, with her being blind enough not to find her way alone and only able to see by straining the eye, and second in not making himself more aware of the building she lived in, with windows not shutting well and gusts of wind coming into her appartment, harming her recovery: having had a few lines from Mrs B [?Bankes], but not being certain where she is, Dorset or Sheen, his enclosing a letter, with Waller probably knowing where to find her: receipt of excellent acounts of his son, with hope of the operation being performed at the beginning of October and successfully so.
