From Mary Jemima Robinson, London to Katherine Gertrude Robinson:

24 Jan 1788

From: 1788 To: 1788

Discusses birthday celebrations, [for an unnamed member of the royal family]. Asks her to thank Mr Parker for letting her use his theatre ticket. Mentions that she has been busy, “with attending Sir Joshua Reynolds, who I flatter myself will upon the whole make a good Picture of the Boys: their features and characters promise to be like and he seems to intend to take pains”. Also mentions Lord Ailsbury/Ailesbury’s proposal of marriage to Lady Ann/Anne Rawden/Rawdon (1753-1813).
