The document traces the adverse political relationship between Castlereagh and George IV's mistress Lady Conyngham, the feud between Lady Conyngham and Castlereagh's wife, Castlereagh's accusations against Lieven when she attempted to smooth over the quarrels, and his increasingly erratic behavior. She records a conversation in which he tells the king, "Je suis fou. Je sais que je suis fou. Je le sais depuis quelque temps, mais personne ne s'en doute." The document concludes with a description of Castlereagh's suicide by penknife.
