J.B. to Peel
Sir
In the United States security for property is
entire: expence of conveyancy compared with what it is in
this country, next to nothing. The will have if it be
worth the trouble by a glance over the enclosed paper. In
at to question of mind, put the here
on the occasion of your late speech by a lawyer of high
eminence in that country who in rise in at the highest Judicature for some time
has been a guest of mine. I have asked him whether he would
have any objection to the giving you any additional information
what you might be disposed to receive: his answer expressed
consent: he likewise spoke of another United States lawyer
unknown to me, and to him known no otherwise than by
reputation as being eminently competent. By him then
you. From comparison of there from the examination or
of two such sources of appropriate information
a promise of useful and applicable light may not be
afforded, you will judge.
Mr Neal's stay in this country will be very short
I know not how by how small a number of days it may
be terminated. This is the reason and cause of my being
thus troublesome to you.
The information will at all events be given to the
public at large: this will be my concern. You will place
to the account of my respect for you, the leaving it to
your determination – whether it shall be submitted to
you in the first instance.
Jeremy Bentham
