Hamburgh 19 July 1782.

Sir.
I have received your Letter of 30th April which
I must beg leave to defer answering fully 'till my Return from a
journey which I am about to make tomorrow for about a month.
I should not have deferred writing to you so long if the Books you
ordered had been compleatly ready sooner. I now have the
pleasure to tell you they are to go on board of Captn. Mary, who
will be ready to sail in abot. a Week or ten days — Inclosed you
will find a Rect. for them, which will entitle you to receive
from the ship — The account of their Cost will follow in
my next. I am much obliged to you for the Account of Your
Brother, who is become a great traveller — We may probably soon
hear of his having been Physician & Prime Minister to the
Prince of Abyssinia, and having stepped over the source of
the Nile, like Mr. Bruce — but to do him justice I believe him
more inclined to be original, than an imitator even of Mr.
Bruce. His shoes & stockings &c. have been in the mean
time travelling to Russia and are returned safe Hamburgh
— I shall cause them to be redelivered to you by some

Jeremy Bentham Esqr.
Lincoln Inn. London.
