Brief Summary:
A letter from Thomas Robinson, 2nd Baron Grantham to his son Frederick [Fritz] Robinson, 1st Viscount Goderich dated 8 February 1779.
Detailed Summary:
The letter concludes with 2nd Baron Grantham writing that he is reading Shakespeare. French translation much inferior to it yet he likes it, done with good intention not maliciously or narrowly. Voltaire translates him [Shakespeare] whenever he can. Mentions looking into Corneille and Raiene. Will not pursue cold critic. Love to Nanny, Parkers and Pelhams. Advise him how Fritz is to be reimbursed for the Chair [Sedan for Nanny?].
