Ld Ch. . Pash
Elliot & Ld S. agreed that Ld Chesterfield is quite broke up &
gone to live altogether in the country: he says of himself that he is
much obliged to the P. of W: that he had not thought of his owing
above £30, or 40,000: but that in consequence of that affair,
he had the advantage of knowing that it amounted to £90,000:
that the notice of his being a short life had brought all his
creditors about him; that now he knows how his affairs stood,
and 7 or 8 years spent in the country would set them right again.
otherwise, going on in the notion of owing but 30, or 40,000,
he should have ruined himself past redemption. Ld S. says
that upon the breaking out of that affair, the K. was exasperated to the highest degree with
Ld Ch.d: that he had appointed a day for visiting him: but that upon
that he broke the appointment, without sending any word.
