From: 1775 To: 1775

Suggest all go together to the fiera mascherata on Monday. If in town before dinner, you may go out again at 10 p.m. Suggest all personate country girls only come to see the fair; for this, common nightgowns of silk (plain) or linen is alone wanting, gauze handkerchieves and aprons, round-eared caps (or no cap) and chip hats with ribbons; a plain toupee for the hair without curls or powder. Fear should not agree with Lord Polwarth, but pray get Sir F Clarke to be of it and take care of us (peddler or gipsy fortune-teller?) Could bring produce, eggs, flowers etc. Mr Bruce's Abyssinian drawings.
