Description: Fritz, Whitehall to Grantham [Newby Park] Letter carried North Allerton Postmark. Sorry for Mr. Ellis's account of Mrs. E. Robinson, wishes she could have been the survivor of that hand of the family. Waddilove pleased with Grantham's visit, satisfied with Linen, frets about the Dean. Recovered from cold. Riding even though showery. Fawkner said Committee of Trade could not go on without Grantham. House of Commons finished at 5 p.m. No debate upon East India Dividend. Tom Pelham didn't turn up for breakfast. Lady Bel [Amabel Polwarth] setting out for Newby. Lord Talbot, Lord Grosvenor & Lord Beaulieu kissed hands for Earldoms yesterday. Verses in Public Advertiser on Mr. Rolle. Suspects Sheridan or Fitzpatrick. Jack [Parker] going to Play 'Two to One' with Fritz. Play "puffed greatly beyond its merits". Oaks [at Newby]; is it the caterpillar which becomes a green butterfly like last year. Received Grantham's latest, Boroughbridge post mark.
