Bath, Orang Grove No.15
Septr. 29th. 1791.

My good Lord,

Mrs. Bentham and I having been upon a Ramble
for these two months past to Portsmouth and a variety of
other Places including the time we have been here, where
my own health made it necessary for me to stay against
our Inclination during the late sultry hot weather, and
our Intention being to leave Bath this Day se'ennight
on our return to Town, we propose the day following
to do ourselves the honor of paying our respects to
your Lordship at Bowood, where possibly we may
chance to meet my two Sons, or at least one of
them, the Coll. having given me to understand, by a
Letter I received from him a few days ago, that he
intended paying you a visit either some time in the
first week in October or very soon after, which as it may
prevent my seeing him, for some time, who to me, is
a kind of "rara Avis in terris" so soon as I could
wish, it is an additional Inducement for our Calling
for a few hours at Bowood, if by the favour of a Line,
I find it will be agreable to your Lordship, to whom
Mrs. Bentham desires me to present her best Compliments
with those of
Lord Lansdown.

my Lord,
your Lordship's
most obedient hble Servt
Jereh. Bentham
