From 2nd Baron Grantham, Madrid to Frederick:

27 Jul 1778

From: 1778 To: 1778

Update of letters received, acknowledgement of contents in other letters. Diego arrived at Bilbao etc... Court to Sn Ildefonso on the 5th, Grantham goes the 12th. Apology for unavoidable repetition in letters. Birth of Princess Masserano's daughter. The Smissaerts leaving. Masin leaves in a few days. Grantham has taken Rechteren/Rechtern? old house at the Sitio etc... Turkish music. Frederick's description of the quiet life at Stanmer quite charming. Awaiting accounts of salt water. Many enquiries after him. Talked much of him to Madame Smissaert. Resemblance to Nanny except in some of her "singular formalities". Love to Nanny and the Parkers.
