1928 April 17
J.B. to Ld. W. Bentinck

Their situation may render acceptable to them
salaries, ten times the amount of which would,
by a Judge of the English School, be turned from
by with contempt.

Of all that I now venture to propose
there is not a syllable that is not perfectly
known to Mr Mill, whom you saw at Mr George
Grotes' and if I may believe him as perfectly approved
by him.

Jeremy Bentham to Lord William Bentinck
Governor General of British India

Understanding, from these and other that now
for the first time the local Government of British India is
in the hands of a man who to the intellectual power adds
the sincere desire of contributing to the happiness of the
people of that country by means of appropriate legislation
in th an all-comprehensive scale. I take up the pen for
the simple purpose of making it known to Your Lordship you,
that my labours, such as they are, are for this purpose at your command

Understanding at the same time that on a some physical accents
reading is a painful exercise to you, I take the further liberty
of stating that for making such my labour available
for British India, Colonel James Young now of Calcutta
will in every occasion be fully competent to
make satisfactory answers to all questions which it may
be your place you may feel disposed to put to him in
relation to me or any works of mine.

Whether there will be any such power of success
as may warrant my applying my thoughts in any particular
manner to the service of British India the country, the destiny of which will depend
upon the answers, it may, with which it may happen to me me
to be honored by your Lordship you after hearing Col. Young
report in relation to me as above.
