From Robert Darley Waddilove to Frederick Robinson, Whitehall:

16 Dec 1781

From: 1781 To: 1781

Thanks for the good accounts [Lady Grantham's giving birth to first son]. Has sent a handsome note to Sir Bellingham Graham? Mrs. Waddilove informed Mrs. Tancred, Mrs. Blacket and Dr. Hutchison. Announcement in the York Paper etc... Mr. Weddell they will have seen [in London] Mrs. Weddell is at Pontefract. Mrs. Hutchison returned to Bishopton. Waddilove may apply to Mrs. Allanson when she comes to Studley, and afterwards to Mr. Lawrence. Contention [over the Residentiaryship of Ripon etc...] likely to end up in Chancery. Sorry to see Wedgewood's and Sir Ashton Levers advertisements wonders "they are not quoted as marks of the Poverty and Distress of the County". [Repeats Turnpike meeting outcome and Sir Bellingham Graham's daughter's having measles, from previous letter].
