Hon:d Sir

Whitchurch Sunday May 15th 1784
1/2 after 4

Your letter is this instant received
The post sets off before 5. As far as
the catching tame fish can be depended upon,
you may depend upon having at least the
quantity you wish for by the Salisbury two-horse
Coach which gets in by 7 on Friday morning.
They will be directed to be left all called for at the
Three Kings Piccadilly. They will be put into this
Coach at 8 this evening leaping alive. This
is all that is material at present, and all that
I have time to say to you, unless it be that I
am ever
Your's dutifully & affectionately
Jeremy Bentham

You must send the fish
to the painters, for ours
are unfortunately very white;
but the learned say not the worse tasted.

Affairs will I hope turn out somewhat better than we expected.
I am happy in the thoughts of being able to accommodate you on
the present occasion, & still more so in the hopes of being able to accommodate
