Scope and Content
Reasons for delay in writing. Happiness in his marital state. Hopes to find a Lady Grantham and Mrs. Robinson on his return to England. Grantham should be recalled given Lord Suffolk's recently vacated position, Harris would claim Under Secretary if Frederick didn't want it. Seldom sees Madame Zenovieff, fears she lives in poverty, often in Moscow. Tartar prints sent to house in Whitehall, assumes books describing Russian dresses are what he means.
