1 item

Wallington, Cambo, Northumberland. - Hopes Robert and Bessie will have a good tour, and better weather than he and Caroline had; envies Bessie her first visit to Paris; his own was when he was fifteen 'when all the houses were new-built'. Recommends seeing the Place des Vosges and going to the Restaurant Lucas on Place [de la] Madeleine. He and Caroline are very much interested in Robert and Bessie's change of house; will help them set up a new home. Glad Robert is going to publish [his play "Cecilia Gonzaga"] with Longman; has no experience, since the one play which Longman published for Sir George, "The Pope and his Patron", he himself 'eagerly and feverishly suppressed almost immediately' since it was a 'very fatal performance for a Parliamentary candidate, and still more for an Irish Secretary'. Asks to be remembered kindly to Monsieur and Madame de Grammont [Grandmont] and sends love to Elizabeth.
