Dear Papa

I send you inclos'd the last 36 Pages of the Tusculan
disputations, which I doubt not will give you pleasure, as it does me
to think my labours are at an End, which I hope are not in vain. you
must needs think I studied pretty hard, to do 6 pages a day besides the
College-Exercises which however as I told you were not so many this week as they
used to be, else I think I could hardly have done so much.

I hope my dear Papa, that I have not done any thing that you are
displeased at, as I have not heard from you since the Wednesday after
or Thursday after I came to Oxford; above three weeks ago.

Wheatly goes to town on Friday the 18th the next day after the
last in term, so that if you please I may take that Opportunity to go
with him, as he said he would wait till then for me, but was obliged to be
in town by next day, otherwise he would have gone the 15th or 16th: I hope
you will send me a line by next post, whether I may go or not then: but
as I hope to be in town before the week is out, I will conclude with professing
myself

Your dutifull
and affectionate Son

J. Bentham.

Sunday Decr 12 1761.

My duty to my Grand mama
and love to my dear Brother.
Accipe quos mitto, studii, Pater optime, fructus;
En tibi longi operis, denique finis adest.
