MR. W. W. GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM.

Whitehall, Nov. 27th, 1788.

MY DEAR BROTHER,

The accounts of the King's situation continue to be so much the

same as for the last two or three days, that it now appears

perfectly plain that we shall be under the necessity of bringing

forward some measure for an intermediate Government immediately

after the 4th; and that there can be no further adjournment.

The Prince of Wales has sent a letter to the Chancellor, desiring

that all the members of the Cabinet may attend at Windsor to-day;

but this I imagine (and, indeed, his letter conveys it), has no

relation to any other subject, but to an idea of moving the King to

Kew, where he can take the air without being overlooked, as is the

case at Windsor. I have nothing new to write to you on other

subjects, though I believe I shall have in a day or two; probably

by Sunday's messenger.

Ever most affectionately yours,

W. W. G.
