| Collection | Correspondence of William IV |
| Description | Prince William received the news of the King's poor health just a few days before, and more details from the Duke of Cumberland and Elphinstone [George Keith]. Prince William will remain in the West Indies - but a ship can be ready to sail towards England at an hour's notice. He is concerned for his mother, the Queen, but he does not dare to write to her.
He expresses his affection for his brother, George Prince of Wales, acknowledging the possibility of him becoming Regent. |
