— Aunt and all. Mr Mulford will lend me his horse: he still
talks of going to Exeter, but has agreed to let me off, if he should not set out
time enough for me to return to meet them. I do not imagine he will
go, however there is still a fore possibility of that journey too. — My
Aunt is still but low; there will be no great festivity I doubt in our peregrination,
it will be a kind of a solemn process: however I shall have
the opportunity of seeking the Peak and the different Mines; which
will be no small satisfaction. when we get to Buxton, which my
Uncle proposes to make his head quarters for about a fortnight, we
are not to confine ourselves there, but to make excursions 30, 40 or
50 miles if there is any thing worth seeing.

should chance to fall into the hands of any of the persons mention'd

happen; for which reason this precaution will I hope not appear
entirely frivolous.
I am Hon'd Sir
Your dutiful & affectionate
Son
Jeremy Bentham

I shall set out I imagine to
meet my Uncle & Aunt in
about three weeks from this day
