THE PRINCESS VICTORIA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SPECTATOR.
SIR—A controversy has arisen as to the state of health of the Heiress Presumptive, which makes me desirous of stating, from personal know- ledge, the real fact of the case. Her Royal Highness is in perfectly good health, and eats, drinks, and sleeps, accordingly. She is in excellent spirits, talks constantly, and is able to hear considerable exertion in the course of her studies, to which she pays unusual attention for her years. Of all that has been said of the delicate state of her health, there is no rnth beyond this,—that she has been from her infancy, and still is, pe- u iarly weak in her legs, and that a slight cold, or fatigue, not unfre- n ntly disables her from walking, to which she has never been much e ustomed. This circumstance has been magnified into a diseased con- titution, but from my own experience I can state that assumption to-be
gether unfounded. I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
MEDICTIS.
