^ [[addition]] be [[/addition]] not less than [[underline]] 140. [[/underline]] Counted afterwards attentively, it was found to be [[/underline]] 136. [[/underline]] The variety of inaccurate relations from many quarters, & the many opinions which are floated off in many directions, may make me at this time (since my return to Kew) more attentive to circumstances, which otherwise I might have deemd of little importance to note down among my daily memorandums. Now I am resolved to put down every thing fairly as I see them (as has been my practice hitherto) let the conclusions on the general information, be what they may. Things are not now always explained as they have really happen'd, but not unfrequently an occasional turn is here given, [[underline]] how these are to be thought of.

I cannot think it kindness to The King or his Family to disperse at a time like this, accounts more favorable than his unhappy disorder in fact can warrant. To raise false hopes by such means of his Care, may at some future time greatly depress the expectations of many, who while they bewail this aweful dispensation of providence, would have waited with patient hope for his recovery. During the evening of this day H. My. has not been violent, but He has been fretful & angry in his conversations. He went to bed early. His pulse remained quick & his eyes wild.
