Concerned to leave Lord Polwarth so indifferent; excuse you from coming to my presentation at court, as earlier than expected; Mama and I in a bustle; Papa and Mama came to see us Monday morning; former well and in good humour; Mama again this morning; proceeded to Mr King's with intention to get a slight white and silver, but could find none ready; patterns, but could not be finished under a fortnight. Mr Vansommer's shop ransacked with no better success; after 2nd jaunt to King's, he promised to try if a slight white and gold could be ready for the beginning of next week; if not, must take white satin. Mrs Beauvais not returned from her annual journey after laces, but we saw 2 suits of point, of which I fancy we shall choose one" House full of workmen, hope to get in end January. Visits.
