From 2nd Baron Grantham, St. Ildefonso to Fritz (Frederick):

21 Sep 1778

From: 1778 To: 1778

Assurance of his recovery. Waddilove well too after a sore throat and fever. He and Delapierre were very attentive and Don Vicente/Vincente judicious and reasonable. Concurs with the treatment of Shadwell. Horse business closed, is to have the Major's and Oreilly, will tell Uncle [Worsley] and General Carpenter as soon as the animals arrive in Town. Longs to hear the little girl [niece Parker] to say "Ah Fritzy". Wishes Fritz might fall in love with Miss Heywood. "Has she £10,000? Much less will not do for you yet". Fritz's autonomy in the absence of Grantham. Mr. Walpole's servant is at Grantham's house, nothing much to send by him. Feeling better, has been blooded and has taken the Bark. Avoiding attending the Battue. The Queen's department is fixed for the 5th November. Further assurance of his recovery, pass this on to Nanny. Love to the Parkers etc... P.S. The Nuncio visited, sent a whole box of Perricata.
