Selwyn 3: From Lord Leveson Gower.
Soon after the affair with Henley, Selwyn was still hanging out with his cronies, most of whom were from the titled class; only they could afford or had the influence to get into Oxford. Amongst them was Granville, Lord Leveson-Gower who writes the following letter to Selwyn dated Markham's Room 11 o' Clock 6 March 1745.
Granville Leveson-Gower (1721-1803) was created Marquis of Stafford in 1786. A powerful and influential local figure, Granville served as Lord Lieutenant of Staffordshire between 1755 and 1800. Granville was instrumental in the schemes to construct canals throughout the early eighteenth century . Henry (Harry) Vane, the third Lord Barnard, was created the Earl of Darlington in 1754.
The letter reads:
"Dr Selwyn
