Novbr. 12, 1811. Madam Your Majestys Council acknowledge with gratitude Your Majestys gracious condescension in approving the motives by which Your Council have actuated. Doubtless they are of the same nature with those which have uniformly governed Your Majesty, arising from an anxious wish to leave no means untried that may be reasonably expected to contribute to His Majesty's recovery. If in the pursuit of this object they have some times suggested measures difficult for Your Majesty to approve, Your Majesty has been pleased to sacrifice Your own feelings to the earnest & urgent representations of Your Council. With every disposition to obey Your Majesty's Commands, and with no present intention whatever to recommend the introduction of any other Person than Dr John Willis to the management of the Kings Apartment, professing at the same time to be perfectly unconscious of the particular grounds of Your Majestys objections to Dr Simmons, Your Council humbly implore Your Majesty not to impose upon them a pledge to exclude from His Majestys material assistance; the assistance of any Man, who may hereafter be deemed capable of affording it - a pledge that cannot as they humbly conceive be given by Your Majesty's Council, without incurring a breach of their official duty, and of the oath by which they are bound to perform it. Presuming on Your Majestys consent to the cooperation of Dr John Willis with His Brother, Your Council have desired Dr John Willis's immediate attendance at Windsor. /signed/ C. Cantuar Montrose Aylesford Eldon Ellenborough W. Grant Her Majesty's Council Nov. 12. 1811.
