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

16 Oct 1775

From: 1775 To: 1775

Thinks it best for Therese to have another boy, although promises not to be disappointed if it is a girl. Mr. Baynes, son of a merchant in London, travelling home from Malaga through Portugal and France, brought Grantham's letter from Sir G. Saville and Bishop of London. Relation of Mrs. Jerricho. Violent windy weather, do as they do at Stowe. Let it blow. Mr. Allanson's death. They have already married the widow to Mr. Danby; a severe stroke to the Laurences. Waddilove and Tom Pelham's travel plans to Spain via Saltram and on Falmouth Packet. Lisbon to Madrid on Mr. Blosset's mules. The Blossets are in poor health etc... Stedman has measles, Ambrosia, the washerwoman's girl recovering from them. Berthoud, the footman, has gout. Fritz and Grantham have both had measles. Have started on black puddings and pork which do not agree with Fritz. The Werthern's are expected Thursday. He changes his mind every half hour however. Madame looking better since laying in. The new Nuncio and Venetian Embassador expected next spring. Sir Benjamin Keene once or twice undertook the education of the latter, gave up as they were recalled as they improved.
