13 July 1818 – 19 July 1818

A message from H. R. H. Princess Augusta, with whom I passed a morning as nearly delightful as any, now, can be! She played and sang to me airs of her own composing-unconscious, medley reminiscences, but very pretty, and prettily executed. I met the Duke of York, who greeted me most graciously- saying, as if with regret, how long it was since he had seen me. In coming away, I met, in the corridor, my sweet Duchess of Gloucester, who engaged me for next Sunday to herself.
