From Fritz, Whitehall to 2nd Baron Grantham, Wrest Park [Bedfordshire]:

26 Jul 1781

From: 1781 To: 1781

Mr. Elliott has no more information. Thinks commission stopped upon Lord W's finding he would be junior to Eden etc. Public report gives his place to Fritz. Saw Mrs. Allanson, who hopes Grantham will make what use he pleases of Studley. Storer set off for Morpeth, may see him at Newby. Met Lords Malden & Onslow, perhaps former is a competitor. If Fritz does succeed to vacancy will not ask Grantham to apply to Lord N again. Details of work going on at house [Whitehall]. Mr. Genn thinks it will be complete in three weeks. All Trotter's new beds are full of bugs. Addinal says they should be washed. Nanny Baldock awaits instruction, worried about ruining curtains. Received charming Penny Postentiary letter from little boy [Jack Parker]. Will send Grantham's letter to Lord Egremont. Former's enthusiasm for Newby mounting.
