Doctor Willis reported to us that the visit had gone off well, but observed, not equally as well as it had the night before-- The King proposed catch singing. The Queen Pss. Augusta & Princess Elizabeth were pressed to take parts, & Doctor Willis was obliged to join. There was more difficulty on parting this evening than yesterday.
