Tuesday. the 31st. a week after his setting sail. At
landing he had the good fortune to meet with two Dutch
Gentlemen with whom I had brought him acquainted: they
were landing from the Harwich packet-boat. From them
he has received every possible assistance and civility: he went
in their company to Rotterdam; which is about 20 miles
from Helvoetsluys: and his last letter is dated from the house
of one of them at Dort. The next day (Sept. 4) he was
to return to Rotterdam: and from thence proceed to Amsterdam
by way of the Hague; where he has a letter to
our Ambassador. At Amsterdam he thinks of staying
week; and will then make the best of his way
to Hamburgh.
I heard on Thursday from my Father at Imley Park:
all well. He had then received my Brother's first Dutch
letter, which I sent him: and has by this time received
the 2d.
I hope this will find yourself and family in good
health; being with the gr sincerest affection and gratitude
Dear Sir
Your most obedient Nephew
Jeremy Bentham
