Summary
Concerning his dying father; saying "All our sanguine hopes are destroyed by a restless night and the King appears weaker and is oppressed at his chest - tho I dont think he looks, in the face, so ill as he did yesterday at this hour - but after this fresh failure, we must give up the idea of recovery - each exertion of Nature seems after the struggle of Temporary restoration, to throw him farther back, a few hours after."
