To his daughter Christine, telling about a party that he has just had: "Mr White left this morning - after a pleasant party, got up for him last night, at last as far and I could judge the party being neither too large or too small, Chas Knight, Joe Arden, Peter Cuningham, Chas Landseer, Solomon Hart & John Leech [...]".

To his son-in-law Henry Bicknell, making arrangements to meet: "I have unfortunately accepted an invitation to dine with Lord Tenterden on Wednesday, had it been an other I would have endeavoured to get off - as it is I have done as you desired an pop'd Marochetti into the fire. With the exception of that and Saturday I am disengaged the rest of the week [...]". - In a postscript, he adds that "Turner called on Monday to say he would dine with you tomorrow having mistaken the day - he is to dine with your Governor [Henry Bicknell's father, the art collector Elhanan Bicknell] on Saturday".
- Roberts enjoyed a close and warm relationship with his daughter and her husband, no doubt a compensation for his own unhappy marriage..
