Scope and Content
Letters from Grantham who hasn't received letters of recall but is ready for them. May keep Lord Pelham company at Lewes Races. Brighthelmstone quiet. Pelhams not arrived. Lady Pembroke expected. Duke of Cumberland and Charles Fox there. Alarm about French fleets abated. Gentlemen of North Riding of Yorkshire raising a Regiment. Duke of Ancaster's, carried on by present Duke, recruiting at Lewes. Harry [Pelham] has had so little success he may be called to London. Colonel of Sussex Militia has made them all wear their hair round. Showing partiality to the companies in the West of the County, no surprize if they quarrel when they meet at Exeter.
