Honoured Madam, August 30, 1790. 



Yesterday Dr. Younge and I set off for Went- 

 worth House, where we were received with all kind- 

 ness and attention. Lord Fitzwilliam was to have 

 been at York races, but was not well enough to go; 

 so we dined alone, and afterwards went to the new 

 mausoleum erected for the Marquis of Rockingham, 

 which is very elegant and grand : saw the gardens, 

 &c. We were attended by the chaplain and steward, 

 two old servants of Lord and Lady Rockingham's, 

 who thought they could not do enough for me as 

 her friend. Indeed it was pleasing to see how many 

 old servants and workmen gathered about me, ma- 

 king inquiries concerning her, and sending their 

 duty to their old mistress. Lord Fitzwilliam being 

 better in the afternoon, we drank tea with him ; and 

 little Lord Milton, who is not five years old, brought 

 me all the botanical books he could find, and told 

 me the Linnaean names of some plants I had just 

 brought out of the garden ; he was very loth to 

 leave me to go to -bed. We went to prayers in the 

 evening in the chapel. — Next day after breakfast 

 saw the house at our leisure.
