But to what specific purpose (you have have still perhaps hence
been saying to yourself) to what specific purpose all this about English
affairs? Sir, I will use have a personal view on the matter and I will tell you what it is, part
in of Mr Del Valle's letter
I have To the suspension of my other labours for near three I have worked hard
in this business, and at some cost in p skilled labour for copyists
I have Three upon your are a good many out of the few I can expect to live.
For the I for reward: and the reward I have for only sort of reward
the only one I will can accept (for reward in a passing shape pecuniary shape as well as honours)
as my works can testify, I refused from Minister Alexander and never can accept accept from any
body. The only sort of reward I can receive is a letter, under the compact signature of yourself and
Mr Del Valle, accepting or declining, as to both of you
may seem the cause most beneficent to your common country,
the offer of my ulterior services, and whatsoever may be the
sentiments expressed in it towards myself, the reward reward
I take the liberty of addressing a copy of this
will be to my feelings the more gratifying, the more cordial
letter and I sent to each of you of
the sentiment affections of of you which
of you towards the other one
declared to be in which to every
thing that relates (if there has
really been any disagreement), in
relation to what belongs to the
public service.

I am, with all respect
and solemnity
Sir Yours
Jeremy Bentham

. . He being as his letter informs
me a member of the your
Legislative Commission,
and the only person
whose signature the
application made to
me with which I
have been honoured
bears, to no person
in preference to him
could any thing
sent by me to Guatemala
in consequence
be add with propriety
addressed
To him alone therefore
could any of the matters
in manuscript be
addressed: for, at
no expence in
payment of skilled
labour at the hands
of copyists would
the time lines admitted
of my getting
a second copy taken
of it.

A passage By this and a passage or two in my letter to him a a natural enough suspicion will
naturally enough be interpretation will be produced, that I am casting about me
to make a case for a reward. Yes: so I am and
it is this: namely the satisfaction of being informed by you
by a just letter by a letter under the signature of both of you
either that there or is no truth in the report of a want difference of
cordiality between you or that, I am so happy as
to have succeeded in these my humble endeavours to render
one of the most important services that can be rendered to your common country
your country Guatemala by engaging two such distinguished men citizens to put away on both
sides different recollections, and
to cooperate with cordiality and sincerity in this highest branch of service.
