Show schenck on poker toker HIS nis F explanation TIIE THE SOLEMN TRUTH mr schenck U S minister to london has been recently very generally handled bandied humorously chiefly by the newspapers of this country on account ef of a treatise on the game of poker which he jie is presumed to have written in england and the follo following is the tho way in which Ile he rises to explain cincinnati february 21 to the editor of tho the cincinnati gazette sir about a month mouth ago you published an extract from the dation ration charging my friend general robert bobert C G schenck with having disgraced himself and lils his high official position by writing a book anthe on the artof art of playing poker you took ze occasion easlon to comment on the presumed resumed fact envery in very severe terms t know general schenck BO so well that I 1 did not believe him to be so silly as to do this and I 1 placed it among the many slanders to which he has hag been subjected by his political enemies but to satisfy myself I 1 wrote him on the subject and I 1 in close his reply which I 1 think in justice to him ought to receive the benefit of your wide circulation A eitleman ent ieman leman whose public life has gentleman geen een so distinguished is entitled to fair play by the public press R respectfully fully anos L youna LONDON january 1875 my dear general thanks for your friendly and manly letter the extracts you send me from newspapers of cincinnati and other places would have surprised me it I 1 had not already seen myself lately so much vilified and lied aled about why have been made the sub eject of these assaults and why my life and conduct are so grossly calumniated and misrepresented I 1 do not altogether understand for god knows with what earnest ear nest I 1 h have ave honestly and honorably labored through a long and active lifetime to promote the happiness of others and to serve to the full measure of my ability a country which has bus entrusted to me much and various public service what has his troubled me most and filled me with indignation is that some of these attacks anonymous as they arm are malicious should have b been n a admitted without question in j journals brur ozur n als ais of reputed respectability you 0 u write to ask me the meaning anys 0 of lt the ridiculous story about my ha having g published a work vork on the rules and art of poker I 1 will tell you what it all nil comes from in the summer of 1872 while visiting with others at a country house in Somerset shire the guests guesta as asis Is usual in english society amused themselves in the evening with games at cards and pa pg Is also usual the stakes were for pennies and sixpences they were anxious to learn the american game of poker of which they had heard and arld of which bome some of them already knew a little I 1 showed them how it was played when I 1 was coming awa awn away awny the la lady y of t the e house requested meas mens e a favor to herself and other frien friends a who t thought ought it attractive and amusing to write down some of the rules of the game garne as it is so generally played in america I 1 complied with her request as well as I 1 could on the very morning of my leaving her hospitable house and thought little more of my act of politeness until she surprised me by sending me some copies of these rules which a gentleman another visitor had had printed for her and for their own private use an and d circulation on his own private printing press it was very doneit was intended as a and I 1 am very sure that nobody can bo be more mere amazed or more annoyed than my friend lady W and an her family and guests gueste to find that they have thus unwittingly brought down on me the wrath and reprehension of so many good people in america if I 1 can find a copy now of the little work which some people would willingly mako make famous if thereby they might injure me I 1 will vill send it to you very V ry truly and faithfully
