Scope and Content
Update on his health. Waddilove was well in a week. Chance of a horse from the Duke of Medina Sidonia, however, latter dangerously ill and Grantham's letter likely to be fruitless. Colonel Ackland's death. Also an instance of Mr. Parker's goodness and friendship to Fritz. Grantham eternally grateful. The men of the Royal Family are gone to Aranjuez. The Princess is in Town and may lie in before they return. Great Gala yesterday, went out in Coach Liveries hoping someone may wish to buy them. Daily routine and update on his progress on the base. Wrote fully to Fritz by Hislop [messenger], anxious for reply. Happy little folks are well and talk of him etc...
