Queen Victoria’s journal:
“A fine morning. — Out walking with Alice. — Dear Albert returned at ½ p. 1, very suffering from the neuralgic pain. He could not go out. — After luncheon walked with Louise in Frogmore garden & drove back. It was quite warm. — Albert obliged to rest & very uncomfortable from the pain in his back & legs. — We dined alone. Marie afterwards played duets with Alice & we looked at albums. —“
