CHAPTER
XI. page 30
About the year 1776 Lord Carlisle wrote the following letter
to George Selwyn:--
`MY DEAR GEORGE,
`I have undone myself, and it is to no purpose to conceal
from you my abominable madness and folly, though perhaps the
particulars may not be known to the rest of the world. I never
lost so much in five times as I have done to-night, and am in
debt to the house for the whole. You may be sure I do not tell
you this with an idea that you can be of the least assistance to
me; it is a great deal more than your abilities are equal to.
Let me see you--though I shall be ashamed to look at you after
your goodness to me.'
This letter is endorsed by George Selwyn--`After the loss of
L10,000.' He tells Selwyn of a set which, at one point of the
game, stood to win L50,000.
