Storm damage at Newby. Great Tree down, directions for disposal and clearance of roots etc... Expecting Jack [nephew Parker] anytime. Walked along Pall Mall with Chuff Legge, great friend of Wyndham's at Oxford. Wyndham on good terms with Lord Northington. Reasons for resigning; unreasonableness etc. Of Irish individuals and excessive weight of responsibility. Legge wanted a frank for Bath so Grantham went into Harry Baker's shop and have him one. Bath again has his scorbutic complaint, going to Harrogate, thence to Ireland if better. At Court; Lady Yorke looking very old initially, impression soon wears off. Describes her. Errinton also at Court. Sir Jo. and Lady Yorke at Grantham's tonight. Talked with Sir Joseph of Maddison, former always expected he would be lost. Lady Stopforth said the Sydney's were delighted with their reception at Saltram etc.. Ask B. [Betty] Smith to make covers of coarse Brown holland or linen for chairs [at Newby]. Bought Dr. Blair's Lectures.
