From Fritz to Thomas Robinson:

17 Oct 1762

From: 1762 To: 1762

Just back from Essex, "infinitely inferior to Yorkshire etc....Stayed with Mr. Tanshawe, very hospitable. False report of Mr. Bozeel's son's marriage to Lady Keppell. Met Uncle Worsley in Palace Yard, invited Fritz to Hampton. Attempted to persuade him that riding was the best thing in world & Fritz should find a horse. Fritz not keen. Their Uncle Jemmy is in town. Misunderstood Prichard ‘’it is Miss B. Wrothesley’’ [no further information]. Mr. Nash of Bath; "his life is printed I cannot say published as it has been so long known publickly". Murphy the Auditor & Wilkes "are to throw away the pen & fight with sharper instruments, if Mr. Wilkes fights every lady he had abus'd he will have enough to do". Lord Bute still abused. Conquest of Havannah has made a Bishop. Mr. Beckford[?]; "as he loved to be laughed at is making great preparations to imitate the Party cooks shop [?] in the Corner of Spring Garden on Twelfth Night".
