He is still at the Castle because the Queen has requested that he makes a drawing of the room the King was in the day before when Lord M. [Munster?] presented to him the Waterloo Banner [in celebration of the anniversary of that battle]. He confirms that the will is still to be opened and that no one knows anything about it.
