Bowood Oct. 2d 1781 1781-10-2
It was a cursed foolish thing in me to set myself such a task
as that of sending you a diary of every thing that passes here: &
now I do not recollect where I left off. Oh, I think it was on Saturday
that I despatched my letter; and I believe I told you of Bank's
coming in from Font-hill with Pratt & Will Pitt.
Sunday Sept.r 30 came in to dinner a whole heap of Sturts, likewise
from Font-hill: Mr & Mrs Sturt, Miss Sturt a girl about 17 or 18 &
Miss Eliza Sturt, about 11. Banks it appeared, is intimate in that
family. After dinner came in Dunning, passing hot from Bristol.
Monday [Yesterday] Oct. 1st. A party of us went to Methuen's at Corsham
about 8 5 miles from this place to see his pictures: it is a famous
collection made by Sr Paul Methuen: the family were not at home.
They are at Ld Boston's , who married a daughter of Methuen's. I shou'd
have said Methuen's daughter, as he has but one. The party consisted
of Lady Shelburne, Ld Camden Miss Pratt & Miss Fox in Ld S's Coach: Pratt
Pitt, Banks & your humble servant on horseback. On our return, to my
great mortification we found Mr & Mrs Dunning were set off for London.
It was absolutely necessary: Mrs Dunning & her maid were expecting every hour
to fall to pieces.
Tuesday Oct.2. In the morning before breakfast Ld Camden & Miss
Pratt went off for Hereford-shire: Banks and Pitt for Kingston-hall
Bank's house in Dorsetshire: The Sturts to their house which is 4 miles
from Kingston-hall.
Wednesday Oct.3. This morning before breakfast Pratt went off for
Bath, where he is gone to cultivate his corporation: so that there is nobody left
but Barre & I. Sr G. Bayntun has been breakfasting here. One would think
he came here as a spy of the court: for he always comes at breakfast,
the time that people are collected together. This is at least the sixth time of his
breakfasting with us since I have been here.
