The Queen Princess Augusta, & Pss: Elizabeth, past a Visit to The King this Evening in his Apartment & the Meeting was reported as having been a very good one. When talking of it with Mr. Thd. Willis he told Me, that both last night & parts of this day, there had been discernible [[underline]] Shades [[/underline]] (as He expressed it) to the good, but that the good of this day, had in his opinion even exceeded that of yesterday. In justice to Mr. Thos. Willis I must say, that in general He speaks more out, & with more fairness & openess than his Relations do - I confess I am now become desireous of knowing from my own Observations, what is to be considered as the symptoms of that real progressive amendment now so much talked of - I wish for an opportunity to Observe whether the Subjects which interest & lead his general conversations, are nearly such as He had before his illness; or whether I shall find his composure and inclinations satisfied with more trifling or more ordinary pursuits than heretofore. To Judge correctly of Him one should be alone with Him indulging Him in the choice of his Subjects, & permitting Him to talk of these unfettered by the Control of The Willis's or others about Him but as yet I know not that such experiment has been made. Doctor Reynolds did not see The King this Night
