Scope and Content
Conway and Lord Beauchamp have no thoughts of Spain, are in Hanover and intend a tour of Germany. England by Autumn. Beauchamp's behaviour upon wife's death, "great deal of affectation in everything he did, £500 to Conway per annum". Doesn't see it as a great act of generosity as his family did. Spencer thinks behaviour towards Conway by way of a coup d'eclat", wants to make him his toadeater. Charles Fox won at Newmarket. Storer has had "conduct of a Quadrille at a masquerade..." Crawfurd going to Spain. Has spoken twice in House [doesn't say about what]. Madmoiselle Heinell dances tomorrow for last time "you have no idea what a scene of mourning it occasions".
