the fine weather were at an end.

I have now the pleasure to inform you that my eyes are
considerably better than they were when I wrote last, though not so
well as when I last saw you. I cannot yet afford to make use of
them for the purpose of mere chit-chat, nor in short to travel or any
subject beyond the verge of necessity. I must therefore beg you to excuse
my not taking the notice I might otherwise have taken of some of
the contents of your two last letters.

I have a map here of the estate, but it was made so long ago
as the year 1755: and therefore does not include above 155 of about
193 acres, which from some of my Uncle's papers I have reason to conclude
there are at present. Hence it represents the estate as consisting
of dismember'd parts which have been joined together or nearly so by
subsequent purchases. I mean therefore to have the map completed &
for that purpose have written to desire Mr Mulford to enquire whether
there is any body that could do it at Basingstoke. You could perhaps
tell me of people in London, but to have a person down from London
would be a great expence. By a receipt I have I find the making
of this map cost but £4: it was done by a Tho:s Blandy.

I am Honoured Sir, ever your's dutifully & affectionately
J:y Bentham.

You say nothing in any of your letters of the book which I wrote to you
about, the account of the Crimea which I borrowd of Maty — I beg you would
tell me in your next whether it is returned or no: if not, my credit will
be quite gone.
