From Anne, Saltram to Frederick:

16 Dec 1781

From: 1781 To: 1781

Good accounts of Lady Grantham and the little Boy. Looking forward to seeing the old Nursery at Whitehall again. Letter from Lady Pelham to wish Anne joy. Sorry Mr. Cleveland thinks her so altered. His intended wife is thought awkward and vulgar. Lady Edgecumbe says she only wishes to be around when he introduces her to Lady Pelham and Lady Holderness. Extremely sorry for the poor Miss Pelhams, loss of Lord John felt more acutely due to their not being quite on good terms etc... Lord Sandes/Sondes not in any danger. Hope Richard sure he is right in joining Captain Dumaresque at Portsmouth. Dumaresque currently at Plymouth. Captain Jervis says he expects Richard daily. Little York's Captain has changed his ship, if he has changed his Captain and it is anyone they know, hopes Lady Grantham is assured of their being of any use to the boy. Enclosure for Mrs. Russell's servant [not present]. Letter from Mr. Parker and Boy at Andover, expected any minute at Saltram. Anne sorry he didn't see his cousin. Sorry for her scolding letter, written before receipt of his two last. N.B. Parker and little Boy arrived, former scolded for not leaving the Boy to dine with Frederick the other day etc..
