Sent from Richmond:

26 Sep 1782

From: 1782 To: 1782

Child well; Doctor Ford advises continuance of bread and milk diet; "spoke strongly against giving too great a variety of sorts of food to children of that age", though would allow chicken "at an earlier period than you would perhaps think right or than used to be thought". Possible wet nurses. Doctor says she can stay at Richmond till mid-October. Grantham has only been in town mornings and returned to dinner; fortunately no levee till tomorrow. Apologies for not deciding about sharing box at opera "as long an affair... as if it was a negotiation with Mr de Vergennes", "Jemima I dare say would prefer crowding in the pit, and Lady E Yorke I suppose you had not thought of". Mr Yorke here last Sunday. Refers to Sir Joseph, Sir Charles Douglas, Lord Rodney. Naval news.
