Difference between Queen Victoria and her predecessor William IV very sensibly felt; 'she does not engage our loyal affections by the slightest display of amiability'. Her parties universally deemed cold and dull. King too indulgent but kind and 'his degree of almost friendly regard enchanted all whom he favoured with his notice'. About to begin residence at Eton; can only undertake twice daily services knowing that other fellows will assist if he is ill. Problems with his new coin cabinets. PLACE: [Hatchetts Hotel, London]
