From Fritz, Bath to 2nd Baron Grantham:

12 Feb 1780

From: 1780 To: 1780

Finger recovered. Has ordered a Great Coat. Not inclined to take a Scotch Servant "and really if we have nothing but foreigners you will be assured in the papers as Lord Stormont was upon the same account & perhaps less grounds". Took John in December 1778, doesn't understand what he means by wishing to stay his two years out. New Tax shouldn't affect Grantham's pension unless Irish Parliament follows example of English. Unfit at moment for Mr. Romney, face too thin. Lord Pelham's accepting Lieutenancy; Tom's approbation decisive, if that was to become vacant supposes Duke would resign Regiment. News from Lisbon thought true. Not specified. No recollection of Ponce. A victory mentioned. Mrs. Molyneux had heard from Gazola. No news of Grantham's China. Lady Katherine severely ill. Lord John Clinton sent for. Duchess of Rutland at Belvoir till March. Fritz's health; knee pain. Had a stool, Dr. Moysey gave a lavement. Plans for journey, setting out Monday via Marlborough, Spin Hill, Maidenhead bridge or Salt Hill. Town Wednesday. Needs bed on ground floor. Lord Gower & Sr. Caser Hawkins have been company for him.
