Collection | George IV Calendar as Prince, Regent and King |
Description | The writer states that Ministers are swearing allegiance for a limited time, on the basis that 'Dr. W[illi]s was certainly to recover the K.; if not, the restrictions were to be made so bitter that the P. would not swallow them'. The letter claims that popular opinion will side with George, Prince of Wales, criticising the 'double state' being created by William Pitt, and arguing that the 'harder the restrictions the sooner they will break'; advising patience and firmness. Written Tuesday, 3 o'clock. Unsigned. |
