From Robert Darley Waddilove, Aranjuez to Frederick Robinson:

4 Jun 1778

From: 1778 To: 1778

Enclosure [not present] for White. Payment of a Bill, old Portugal and Don Rodrigo mentioned. Fourth Volume of Gray's Works missing. When White orders any books from Sancha's perhaps some of Cruz's Trages Españoles would sell in London. Manuel de la Cruz setting out on his travels to the Peñon today. Grantham and Waddilove have given him money. Mr. Walter is Mr. Draper's Pamphlet Bookseller, has sent Gentleman's Magazine for 1777 instead of 7'78 for Joes, instead of English Magazine. Lort may get an engraver to copy the [drawing of] Swedish dresses. Has Mr. Lever got a finer loadstone in his collection than F. Robinson? Count Masin's English Chaise Seat Box conversion in imitation of F. Robinson's. Description. Masin wants two pairs of spectacles from Dolland's, no.s 1 and 1, describes the style he require. Thermometer at 82. No news except the Hood which reached the buttresses of the intended bridge. Compliments to Draper, has thoughts in common with F. Robinson about a Prelate [unnamed]. Waddilove more afraid of him than the Bishop of Salamanca whom he meets at Bayer's.
