I hope, Sir, you will not be displeased nor much surprized, if in the course of a week or
thereabouts, you should receive a stack of my receipts from you and of my expectations. I have
staid thus long in hopes that my moderation of which, I believe, you are satisfied, and my patience
of which you are a witness might at length have render'd it unnecessary to remind you of those wants
which you could not but imagine must subsist. I should conceive that you are not much the
better, and I know very well that I am much the worse, for my being always obliged to speak
in the stile of a beggar before I am relieved. Your forecast and exactness in your your accounts
will not allow me to suppose that you cl could have engaged in a plan of
new expence without having made allowance for the regular fulfilling those standing
engagements which you had been pleased voluntarily to enter into with your Son for his
support. As to any thing beyond, I think I need not tell you that whatever may have
been the subsequent accessions to your income, I have never sollicited a farthing. You
can not I think but remember instances where I have declined accepting even what you yourself
have been kind enough to offer, till I knew whether I should find it necessary.

To
Jeremiah Bentham Esq:r
Queen's Square Place
2 Westminster.

Son Jeremy
Letter datd Fetcham
