High Wycombe, 25 Novr 1789
Dear Sir,
No one could make me a more acceptable Present than the
Picture you have been so good to send me & your Son. The Character
you give of him makes his Society invaluable to me whose
Lot it has been hitherto to spend my Life in a Political Hospital
His disinterestedness and originality of Character refreshes
me as much as the Country air does a London They've can
Besides Lord Wycombe loves him as much as I do,
so that his Portrait will be sure to be respected for
two generations. But I beg you will say nothing to him
of the Present which you have been so good to make me
I hope you will present my respects to M.rs Bentham
and that you will believe me with real regard
Your faithful humble serv.t
Lansdown
addressed. H. Wycombe November
Twenty fifth 1789
