From 2nd Baron Grantham, Madrid to Anne [Nanny] Robinson:

5 Aug 1777

From: 1777 To: 1777

Nanny & little John's trip to Stanmer. Went well. St. Ildefonso on Friday for few days. Intense cold there. Case of books arrived: Dr. Robertson's and The Voyages the most interesting. Answer to David Hume's Life, Dr. Beattie's book also mentioned. Grantham named in the ‘first of April’. “The manner in which that is done proves the Author’s ignorance & does in no shape whatever reflect on me. The abuse in these verses is scandalous”. Aunt J. Worsley is in distress upon quitting Bath. Directed Draper to send £100. Hoping to avoid incumbrance. Harry's been at Stanmer also dined at Sackville Street. Tom well. [Pelhams]. Wine for Mr. Powlett & Mr. Hawkins.
