Whitehall, Nov. 24th, 1788.
MY DEAR BROTHER,
The same contradiction still prevails between all the private
accounts, even those of the physicians themselves, and the public
information which they give either to Ministers or to the country.
At the same time, the medical people seem so confident in their
declarations of his not being better, that it cannot but shake the
trust which one should otherwise place in the accounts of his
improvement.
My head is by no means better to-day, so that you must excuse the
shortness of this.
Ever yours,
W. W. G.
