in the room when he came: & said he remember'd me very well; for
he saw me when I was entered: so I am to go into another room till my
own is finished. It has been painted & paper'd, tho' not with your paper
as Mr Jefferson I suppose has told you. here indeed I am quite ashamed
of myself, nor do I endeavour to exculpate myself; but must
rely upon your goodness for pardon. tho' indeed the occasion of ye
Mistake was this: the Upholsterer asking me whether I would have
my room Paper'd then, I told him yes I believed he might: for I thought
you had only mentioned the sending of Paper from town only
as a thing that might be done, and I did not care to be upon
such an uncertainty, as I thought it was. Mr Jefferson lectures
us upon Theoprastus's Characters and Grotius de veritate Christianae
Relligionis. this day the bells rang on account of Lord Leigh
being entered at Oriel Colledge . I have here sent you inclosed
a Letter to Mr Skinner which if you approve of it, you may
send to him, as you mentioned to me, in which if I have left out
any particulars concerning myself that you would be glad to know
you may find them. I have wrote a letter to my Aunt Grove&
have let her know I intend to write to my Cousin Mulford
very soon. excuse me, if you think my letter too short; for you
know my letter to Mr Skinner if you look into it will be as
good as another from
Your most dutiful
& affectionate Son
Jeremy Bentham.
PS. pray do not forget my duty to my
Grandmama, and love to dear brother Samy
who I hope together with yourself are
very well, as I have been all this time.
