Ripley Sept:r 13.th 1776.
Hon:d Sir

The few lines you will now receive I write from
Ripley. Breakfast is just over, and we have been inspecting
the Venison. The general opinion is that it cannot possibly
keep till Tuesday: at least that it will not be safe to venture.
The Ladies desire me to mention this to you: they told me
they had given you the option of Monday or Tuesday: for
the reasons above given they can only propose Monday to you.
If It is proper I had not happen'd to call in this morning,
they would themselves have written - I offer'd to save them the
trouble. This afternoon they were to have sent the man over
to Fetcham if I had not come.

It is proper I think that you should know, that in
my long letter I said enough to Miss S. for her to conclude
that that part of Mrs B's conversation with my mother
that concerned the fortune had come round to me.
My affectionate respects wait upon my Mother - love to
all the boys - at the same time with this or before you
will have received, I suppose, a letter which I sent yesterday -
I am Dear Sir
Yours most dutifully and affectionately
Jere:y Bentham
The Ladies desire their Compliments.
