s to do here, I shall desire him to return to you on Tuesday with the examination of the physicians, which will, I hope, be presented on that day, or perhaps I may keep him till the Addresses are carried. I make you no congratulations on this great event; but it has made a deep impression in my heart, and so I am sure it will in yours. God bless you, and believe me ever most affectionately yours, W. W. G. Do not say more of the King's situation than Lord Sydney's despatch authorizes, because Willis's name should not be committed after what has passed. MR. W. W. GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Whitehall, Feb. 20th, 1789. MY DEAR BROTHER, The House of Commons met to-day and adjourned to Tuesday, without a word being said, except from Viner, who desired to hear from Pitt an account of the King's real situation. No answer was given, and the House adjourned. Pitt has seen the Chancellor since his return from Kew to-day. _He, Thurlow_, was with the King to-day for two hours. He did not enter into particulars of what had been done, but only in general terms. He says that he never saw, at any period, the King more composed, collected, or distinct, and that there was not the least trace or appearance of disorder. Willis, however, does not allow the cure to be yet quite complete, although he thinks it as nearly so as possible. All the other medical people seem to think him quite well; but Willis's means of information and his experience are so much greater, that we cannot but give entire credit to what he says. The Chancellor is to be at Kew again on Sunday. I think our present idea is to adjourn the two Houses again from Tuesday to Thursday or Saturday. If that is the case, I shall send Fremantle back to you, as he tells me he has nothing to detain him here, and it is very desirable that Bernard should be on the spot soon, to make his bow at Aylesbury. You must not expect to hear from me on any other subject than the King's recovery; for nobody here writes, talks, thinks or dreams of anything else. Ever most affectionately yours, W. W. G. MR. W. W. GRENVILLE TO THE MARQUIS OF BUCKINGHAM. Whitehall, Feb. 21st, 1789. MY DEAR BROTHER, I have little to add to Lord Sydney's letter. You
