From Robert Darley Waddilove, Ripon Residentiary House to Frederick Robinson:

24 Aug 1782

From: 1782 To: 1782

Beckwith's Discharge. Family obliged for Frederick Robinson's efforts. His mother delivered a letter from him. The 'Tortoise' Storeship, Captain Serecold, not at Spithead. Waddilove will keep his place of Songman open for a white. Mr. Lawrence is in the County; may have heard Mrs. Haddons complaints [nothing specified]. Weddell's may be down tomorrow. Waddilove meeting the Archbishop in the East Riding upon a Confirmation. Mrs. Waddilove glad of newspapers, she began to worry [Grantham] was out of place again. Thanks for covers, will begin correspondence with Dr. Kennicott. Would like an oval table if corner tables not his. Obliged for Grantham's Interest and Application. Would prefer Westminster but Windsor, Canterbury and Worcester [would do], "the Corwn is Patron of all Deaneries and the Residentiary ships of St. Pauls (one of which Barrington probably vacares) and of the Preferment avoid by Promotion to Bishopricks". Glad for the boy's sake that the Granthams have a house in the Country etc.... At Newby [Park], backstairs become down Tuesday. Traveller's enquiry about the portraits, given by Grantham, in the Ripon Minister. Waddilove couldn't give much information.
