The Princess of Wales thinks her daughter should be given 'a seaton [sic] & put... on the blisters', and that if this is done 'I shall think her safe & in a good way'; 'we all sing victoria but my poor heart is not sensible of it'.\r\nThe Prince has demanded a consultation of the physicians; while this would give 'your freind' [sic] the opportunity to speak, the Princess fears he will not be named among them.
