340 'OLD q' 



Monday. Abergavenny pressed me very much to dine at 

 Kidbroke, in my way to London, but it will make it so 

 late that I believe I shall not. You see how dangerous it 

 is to touch upon a tender point, even in joke. If you had 



not talked of , you would have been sure of him at 



Matson. — Yours, etc. . . . 



APPENDIX 2. 



Friday. 



My dear George, — I desired Lauragais to send you 

 most of my success yesterday. I lost £400 by a horse of 

 the Duke of Grafton's breaking his leg ; otherwise I should 

 have made a very great day of it ; however, I have done 

 pretty well. 



The French are very well pleased with Newmarket. 

 I wish you had been here, as you would have liked it 

 better than the last meeting. I think I shall be in town 

 on Sunday or Monday morning. — Yours, etc. . . . 



APPENDIX P2. 



Satrirday. 

 My dear George, — I have had your letter, and am 

 much obliged to you. We shall set out on Monday, and 

 will dine with you if you like to give us a dinner at your 

 house ; if not, order some at Almack's, that we may dine 

 together.
