Dear Papa Monday May 25th 1761

I have sent you 10 pages of my Translation, and likewise
have filled up the gap that you complained of in your last;
you must know I had asked Mr de Salis my next door neighbour
with whom I am now well acquainted, (who is now a Bachelor and
Fellow-Commoner, and has read the Tusculan disputations) to explain me
the meaning of that passage, as I had given it over after a great deal
of Study myself, but he could not, no more could another Bachelor of Arts
of my Acquaintance, and so I went as my last resource to Mr Jefferson,
who after pretty much consideration explained it to me to the same effect
as I have put down in the back of my translation. I have inquired
about that Epitaph on beau Nash by Dr King, but find it is
not to be had at the bookseller, but have borrowed it of Mr De Salis
to transcribe it for you; and will send it you this week or next if I
can, for it is a very long one: I am just going to Lecture, and have
only just time to send you these few lines from

Your most dutiful &
affectionate Son

Jeremy Bentham.

Pray give my duty
to Grandmama.
