The Princess will go to Kensington tomorrow 'to put an end to it', but will leave the choice of who should carry out the operation to her daughter.\r\nMrs Clayton has provided an explanatory note that Dr Freind's advice was that a 'seaton' [sic] should be made, that this was ultimately done and had the desired effect, being left open for about a year and then 'dryd up'.
