TitleLetter from Charles James Fox to George, Prince of Wales, on his decision to restrict his expenses, suggesting a system of trustees to pay his creditors, and the positive impact this measure will have on the Prince's reputation
Date16 July 1786
WriterFox, Charles James
AddresseeGeorge, Prince of Wales (1762-1830)
DescriptionFox suggests that because the sum assigned to repay creditors remains within the Prince's access, 'it will still be in your power to break the resolution which you have taken'. Assigning 35,000 or 40,000 to a group of trustees, 'men of known reputation not now in your Royal Highness's service', including Lord Southampton, would remove this possibility and challenge those who 'doubt or affect to doubt your perseverence'.
