From Frederick [Fritz] Robinson, Madrid to Anne [Nanny] Robinson:

21 Mar 1774

From: 1774 To: 1774

Wishes her joy on her birthday on 19th. Hopes Waddilove has settled all his parochial disputes. Mr. Martin has offered Fritz the refusal of his house, didn't think it prudent to accept at present, so must wait for demise of Lady Vanbrugh or till Mrs. Dan retires into country. Bad luck at Loo. Madame Zenowieff wins his money. She may return to Russia next summer. Will be "agog again next winter & the Princess of Totlebenhausen ne Lindevilla Daudlestein is the Duce". Disputes about rules of Loo in example given. Mr. Keichall brought a letter from Mr. Bastard, former connected with Mr. Papavant of Exeter who is German and lived in the west a long time. Haven't heard from Ralph Milbanke. Therese abuses his friend Smyth of Heath terribly etc.
