And one of his very latest hours of rational life was employed in dictating a letter to the Princess Amelia, which he directed in my presence, and committed to my charge, to express his satisfaction that she had received the Holy Sacrament that morning, and had sought for comfort under her sufferings, where only it could be found, in religion.
