Whitehall, Nov. 28th, 1788.
MY DEAR BROTHER,
The Ministers were all sent for to Windsor yesterday by the Prince,
in order to give their advice with respect to moving the King. They
were detained so late, that Pitt went to Salt Hill to sleep there;
and is not yet returned, at least not to his own house, so that I
have not seen him.
I had a note from him yesterday evening, to say that they had not
seen the Prince, he having sent a written message to them by the
Duke of York. It related to the removal. He says, that the opinion
of the physicians, particularly of Addington, who had been desired
to come over that day from Reading, was favourable as to a
possibility, and even a prospect of recovery, and clear for
removing him as soon as possible.
We are still in the dark, as to the Prince of Wales's intentions;
though what passed yesterday confirms my opinion. The general
language leans to negotiation.
