1811. [[note]] March 23d. [[/note]] It appeared that the inferior attendants had been bribed by the King, and were therefore dismissed; which he bore quietly, but was so irritable and suspicious of every ones sentiments, that is was judged wise to recommend to the Prince to postpone his usual visit. The night was passed quietly, but very nervous in the morning. [[note]] 24th. [[/note]] The Queens visits went off satisfactorily, and the walk on the Terrace. There was no delusion in the evening, nor in the night; there was an irrascibility in the evening; slept three hours, and did not talk when awake but adjusted the bed-clothes. [[note]] 26th. [[/note]] Slept about four hours. In other respects the same. [[note]] 27th. [[/note]] Slept six hours; the delusions slighter and less frequent. [[note]] 28th. [[/note]] Three hours and a half sleep; in other respects no material change. [[note]] 29th. [[/note]] The references to the prevailing delusion obviously fainter and more transient. Conversation with the Physicians placid, good humoured and mild, slept four hours and a half, silent and quiet when awake. Conversation with the Physicians correct.
