12 Jul 1784

From: 1784 To: 1784

Journey to Yorkshire postponed until following Friday. Tour with Tom [Pelham?] cancelled as season now so advanced, but insists on visit to Milbankes at Harrowden as they leave the country before he returns. Grantham should get visit to Studley over before Fritz & Tom arrive. Mrs. Allanson may not want so much company at once. Case and letters for M. de Ramel and Cardinal Valenti taken care of. Glad Frederick [nephew], goes without his Cap & that his carrots curl. Sorry about coolness between Thompsons & Weddells [Election]. Lord Boringdon's horse, Ascott, won Cup at Exeter. Cup damaged in transit. Jack [Parker] well at Hammersmith. Rising of Parliament coincides with his holydays. Mr. Ley will carry him down. Dined at Lady Robinson's with Mrs. Eliza Stainforth & Mrs. Margaret Thornhill. Lady Robinson's cough better. Lord Hardwick in Town, indifferent & restless. Suffering from tiraillement des Nerfs, may resume Asses milk at Newby. Tom Smith may enquire about a Jenny Ass. House of Commons up in three weeks.
