From 2nd Baron Grantham, St. Ildefonso to Anne [Nanny] Robinson:

26 Aug 1771

From: 1771 To: 1771

Fritz received Nanny's letter. Their first letters should have arrived also etc. Will send plan of house when it is secured. Languetin turned out to be idle and extravagant and has been given Mastership of Mules. Beylie, whom Mr. Pitt sent, will be an upper servant, has given him leave to send for his wife. Stedman will be titular Valet de Chambre. Pleased with the Cook. Regrets his absence from her, but glad she didn't go with them "you have more spirit than many women & might perhaps have slept at two Posadas but I think not more. I do not know a Pelham in ye world that could have come so far". The Princess has been ill but now recovered. Grantham thinks he will not like the Escurial. Lady Carlisle lies in at Castle Howard. Lord Carlisle gives a bad account of Uncle Worsley. Hopes she finds her cloaks warm. Excuses for not buying more for her at Paris.
