I now have all the information needed. Here are the answers:

1. Dr. Hahnemann's First Mental Patient - Herr Klockenbring

Klockenbring (full name: Friedrich Arnold Klockenbring) was the Privy Secretary of the Chancellery of Hanover. He is recognized as Hahnemann's first documented mental patient.

Here is what happened:

In the winter of 1791-92, Klockenbring was seized with severe furious madness that lasted for about half a year, baffling even Dr. Wichmann, the Hanoverian court physician.
Duke Ernst of Saxe-Gotha handed over his hunting castle at Georgenthal to Hahnemann to set up a mental asylum (opened August 1792).
Klockenbring was brought to Hahnemann towards the end of June (1792) in a very disturbed mental state, with large reddish-blue elevated spots on his face, extreme mental aberration, smiling and grinding of teeth, childish folly mixed with unlimited pride.
Hahnemann treated him with gentleness and compassion rather than chains, coercion, or harsh methods - a revolutionary approach at the time. Notably, this was 15 months before Philippe Pinel famously unchained maniacs in Paris (September 2, 1793).
Klockenbring eventually recovered under Hahnemann's care. He later died (in his 53rd year) from the effects of a surgical operation - not from the mental illness.

This case is described in Hahnemann's "Lesser Writings" (1796) titled "Description of Klockenbring during his insanity."

2. The King/Friend Who Died from Blood-Letting by Allopaths

This refers to King George II of Great Britain - but more precisely in homeopathic historical literature, the most commonly cited case is Leopold II (Holy Roman Emperor), who died in 1792 after being bled excessively. However, the specific reference in the context of the Organon and Hahnemann's writings most likely refers to King Frederick William III of Prussia or, in many homeopathy lectures and Organon commentaries (especially in Indian homeopathy education), this is cited as the friend who was a king and died due to repeated blood-letting by conventional physicians.

Based on Hahnemann's own writings and the historical record most cited in Organon studies:

Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor (died March 1, 1792, aged 44) - died after being bled four times in two days by his physicians for a fever. Hahnemann wrote about this tragedy, condemning the barbaric practice of excessive blood-letting, and this case is frequently cited in Organon teachings as an example of the dangers of allopathic treatment of that era.

Hahnemann used Leopold II's death as a powerful argument against the prevailing medical practice of blood-letting, which he called harmful and irrational. This is a frequently discussed point in Organon lectures in India, where teachers cite it as: "Hahnemann's friend, the Emperor/King, who died due to blood-letting by allopaths."

In summary:

Question	Answer
First mental patient	Herr Klockenbring - Privy Secretary of Hannover, treated at Georgenthal asylum (1792)
King friend who died from blood-letting	Leopold II, Holy Roman Emperor - died 1792 after excessive blood-letting by physicians
