Collection | William Henry, Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh |
Description | Heywood states that the Duke was moved with difficulty 'lest his bones shou[l]d come through the skin', and that [Maria] Duchess [of Gloucester] was by constantly by the Duke's bedside. In order to relieve his suffering they had placed him in a 'swinging bed,' to rock him to sleep, and Baron Crescese had provided them with his apartment in the Tyrole. Heywood also mentions talking with Doctor Jebb, and the intention to write to Lord Weymouth, who knew of the Duke's disorder. |
