12 Jun 1775

From: 1775 To: 1775

Coach arrived. Pleased with contents. Las Casas not yet returned from Madrid. Parejas, day before yesterday; no novelty value, few people from Madrid. Bull Feast; new event of American Indian catching a bull by a sling over the horns (customary in America), tying him to a fence and fighting another bull from the first bull's back. The Buccleughs gain considerably by the death of the Duchess of Montague. Duchess of Kingston fair game for Mr. Foote. Masserano's arrival in London imminent. Thinks he will be much broke. Colonel Ross, Lieutenant of General Boyd's Regiment at Gibralter, and Mr. Baird expected. Latter one of their first visitors in Spain, good natured etc...
