From Frederick [Fritz] Robinson, Madrid to Anne [Nanny] Robinson:

7 Feb 1774

From: 1774 To: 1774

Still hope Nanny may see Waddilove before he goes to Topcliff. Ball last Thursday at the Pardo at M. Grimaldi's. Concluded at 4 a.m. with a Fandango. Another Ball this week to conclude Carnival. Lent will not stop their meetings, both losing at Loo at moment. George Fitzwilliam arrived at Cadiz having been violently ill on way. Mr. Ker a scotch merchant, leaving soon, finding Madrid dull. Lord Edgecombe’s bon mot on Lord Ligonier’s match a good one. Latter’s name not mentioned much since he left, he was Secretary to Embassy. Embassadors little enquired after either, Harris included. Dining with Count Richteren, the Dutch Minister where they will eat herrings, the same as Mr. Townshend's annual present.
