APPENDICES 285 



T'uesday, after the Opera. 



By your letter, which I had this morning, I find you 

 were to set out last Sunday. I fear the roads are so very 

 bad that you will not be here so soon as you imagine. A 

 rebound of our dinners with Ch**- Townshend is to be at 

 my house on Saturday ; we shall all be happy if you come 

 in time to make one. Farewell, my dear George. I am 

 afraid of being too late for the post. 



Etc. etc. etc. 



APPENDIX K. 



My dear George, — I have received from Bob, as I 

 imagine, for I had no letter, but a cover in which there 

 was nine hundred and fifty guineas in notes, payable to 

 my order. As these wanted another £50 to make up 

 the thousand, I was afraid there might have been some 

 mistake, but as I shall pay none of them without endors- 

 ing, it will be of no consequence whether it is so, or not. 

 I continue to lose everything I play for. I dine at 

 Guerchy's on Sunday. — Yours, 



M. AND R. 



APPENDIX L. 



My dear George, — I have lost my match, and am 

 quite broke. I cannot tell you how much I am obliged 

 to you for thinking of my diflliculties, and providing for 

 them in the midst of all your own. Let me hear soon. — 

 Yours very affectionately, 



March and R.
