Excerpt from Private Correspondence of Horace Walpole, Earl of Orford, Vol. 3 of 4: 1764 1775You see I write in despair. I am for the whole, but perfectly tranquil. We have acted with ho nour, and have nothing to reproach. Ourselves with. We cannot combat fate. We shall be left almost alone, but I think you will no more go with the torrent than I will. Could I have fore seen this tide of ill fortune, I would have done just as I have done, and my conduct shall show I am satisfied I have done right. For the rest, come what come may, I am perfectly prepared! And while there is a free spot Of earth upon the globe, that shall be my country. I am sorry it will not be this, but to-morrow I shall be able to laugh as usual. What signifies what happens when one is seven-and-forty, as I am to-day?About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
