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

28 Aug 1775

From: 1775 To: 1775

Watercolour drawing of the view from his window, taken in the morning, description. Sending Therese same view in the evening. Heard from Draper their pictures had arrived. Stedman returned from Paris. Mr. St. Paul sends the worst account possible of poor Lockhart. Great Gala over, everyone back to Madrid straight after Court or Dinner over. Madame Bejar gone to Valencia to see her brother who is suffering with a contusion on his breast from Algiers. Fritz's plain work shirts in the post. Grantham not keen on plain work. Therese's accounts of little John delightful. His picture not unlike Nanny but many see resemblance to Grantham. Mr. Martin who has been at Newby thinks both Grantham's pictures there resemble him still, difficult to understand as some folks say he grows fat, old, brown & bald.
