    Thanks for speaking to M. Grimaldi regarding the pointers. Hope Mr. [Frederick] Robinson's disposition helped by Escurial air. Describes Madrid air and Gazola/Gazzola's remedy. Gazzola's gout gone but he's still weak. Discussion of design of silver fork, which is now made. Hasn't seen Mengs yet. Little news, Venice's Faro-Banks much talked of. Promised Losada & Grimaldi he would have no more at his house, Munro says. Portugal plays at Manille at M. Fontenar's. Wilbraham's brother has given orders for the Cheshire cheese. He is a Cheshire farmer. Mutton chops waiting for Waddilove until 4 o'clock.
