From Fritz, Bayonne to 2nd Baron Grantham:

31 Mar 1778

From: 1778 To: 1778

Has received all letters to 26 March. Understands hints. Report in Bayonne that English and French Embassadors left London and Paris. Declaration of war in both places. Latter may not be true but will not stay in France longer than necessary. Sets out for Toulouse tomorrow, will take shortest route to Paris if he hears the worst. Will return [to Madrid] immediately if Grantham wishes it. M. Saubaigné & son very attentive. Takes walks around area; improved since last here. In no doubt of Siere's attendance on him whenever he goes. Hopes for return of happy years spent together formerly. Thanks for Waddiloves letter, may not be able to answer now. P.S. Has settled his money matters, and has written to Draper and Nanny. Commandant just with him, called D'Amou "he is an old officer", declined his invitation to dine.
