It is again our painful duty to state, that there is not the least prospect of his majesty's recovery; he enjoyed a little sleep last night, which only tends to prolong his sufferings, as the refreshment he obtains from it is scarcely visible; his appetite, notwithstanding, is occasionally very good. On Wednesday he made a very hearty dinner of cold mutton, and a light French dish. His present very debilitated situation is owing, in some measure, to his having recently talked upwards of twenty hours nearly without ceasing.
August 25.
The debility and lowness with which his majesty is frequently afflicted, often proceed from his excessive propensity to talking; within these few days he talked nearly twenty-two hours, with very little cessation. It is also increased by frequent violent attacks of his malady. On Wednesday morning he took some chocolate for his breakfast, and the same day he partook of a made dish and some mutton for his dinner. His appetite is frequently as good as ever it was.
