From: 1783 To: 1783

Alterations to Newby [Park]; details of progress in house and garden. Met Mr. Belwood there. Mr. Mickle in Nottinghamshire will not be back before Fritz leaves. The Wing is considerably advanced etc. Angry at Mickle's orders to cruelly trim elm hedge to let light in Redgrave's workshop. Details of wind damage [Newby Park]; pretty Thorn lost near Cockshut Gate, Great Oak looking more deformed than ever, particularly bad from Lady Grantham's south window. Final orders for its removal from Grantham to Mickle. Staffordshire ware; box contained four fruit Baskets. Chico died a natural death, could not agree to him being shot. Saw Mrs. Waddilove's child, drank tea at Mrs. Hutchinson's. Hopes to be with Grantham tomorrow sennight. Supposes report about Sir J. Pennyman not true as it was heard from Mrs. Worsley. Mr. Browne expected. Tom squeals & the Infanta innominate squalls. Compliments to Grantham.
