Date Created
n.d. [a later pencil note suggests 1726 or 1727]
Creator
Caroline, Princess of Wales (1683-1737)
Description
The medical treatment prescribed for Princess Amelia is an infusion twice a day. The Princess of Wales finds the doctor's reasoning just 'as to the humour of her [Princess Amelia's] ear', and feels the Princess should be consulted as 'she is in her 16 year'.\r\nThe Princess of Wales has a sore throat and has had a slight fever and cold; she will cure these by not eating, and by 'the remedy of your freind [sic], whom I take for the greatest physician of our time'.
