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

2 Jul 1778

From: 1778 To: 1778

Glad Mr. Parker is to be encamped near Saltram, assumes she is there. Plans for the timing of his letters. Advises Fritz to take Dr. Warren’s recommendations. Advises sea bathing and avoidance of excesses. No champagne and turtle, but won't scold him for Muffins, Ices, Jellies & Biscuits at Mr. Ley's. Daily routine. Sir J. Hort has sent him Chintz nightgowns. Remembers Tom laughing the first time he saw them in their Banyans [shirts-OED]. Thoughts on St. Ildefonso & Madrid coming up. More philosophical since Fritz left. Little Infanta better, has always taken an interest in her doing well. Benefits for children of fresh air over hot crowded rooms. Mr. Wilkie may call at Saltram, has a parcel for Fritz, please make him welcome.
