From Frederick John Robinson, Newby Hall to Katherine Gertrude Robinson:

22 Sep 1808

From: 1808 To: 1808

Arrangements for the execution of a commission to convey a subscription for a publication from Mrs Harris to Reverend Thomas Stabback. Hatchard, “who stores my mind and Library” also mentioned. The Convention of Lisbon. Never expected that Junot would make an unconditional surrender, terms granted are essentially the same as Lord Hutchinson granted to General Belliard [?] at Cairo and subsequently to General Menon and the Garrison of Alexandria. [Frederick Robinson] not satisfied; the article which relates to the Spanish Troops who had been disarmed, is the worst of all. Worst consequence of the convention being so entirely favourable to Junot will be that Bonaparte will persuade the world that Junot beat “our “ army in the field and “we” on that basis have been compelled to grant him any terms he might request etc…
