Description:
Letter from Lord Grey to his father Lord Stamford. He has made many acquaintances in Paris, "yet this way of living does not quite suit me, there is too much similarity in the proceedings here, and the rich dishes doe not agree so well as the roast beef of old England". He has mixed mainly in English circles: Sir George Pigott, Lady [Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Howard, 26th Earl of] Suffolk, [John Henry Upton, 1st Viscount] Templeton, Lord [James Murray, 1st Baron] Glenlyon and Lady [Emily] Glenlyon, Lady [Dorothy, wife of William Edwardes, 2nd Baron] Kensington, [Alexander Hamilton, 10th] Duke of Hamilton, Col. Whatley, Lord George Hill, Lady [Maria, wife of Arthur Blundell Sandys Trumbull, 3rd Marquis of] Downshire, Lady Elizabeth Hope, Lady Smith. Describes the main attractions of Paris, but on the whole he is disappointed. He has decided to avoid southern France because of its occupation by an army hostile to the English. He will set off for Brussels early next month, then travel down the Rhine to Geneva and tour Switzerland before wintering in Naples and Rome. "Getting tolerably expert in the French modes." Dated at: Hotel de Bristol, Place Vendome, Paris. Endorsed: "Rec'd 1st March" and "ans 15 March to Paris" in the hand of Lord Stamford.
