Linc. Inn. July 7th. 1778.
Dear Sir,
Your favour of yesterday is come to hand —
I am very much flatter'd by that mark of your condescension
— permitt me to make you my grateful acknowledgements
for the pleasure if afforded me. I have done myself
the honour to communicate it to Mr Lind, in obedience to
your commands. I am just going to dispatch that together
with your preceding favour to Mr Bentham Senr. your
worthy father, Sir, imagining it might give him pleasure.
Poor Duc de Chartres! he thinks that Archimedes
is revived in your person, Sir, to direct the preparations of
his adversary. Permit me once more, Sir, to assure you
with what gratitude I am
Dear Sir
Your most obliged
most obedient humble servant
and Brother
Jeremy Bentham.

contriving some way or other that he may know of your improvement.
It was Wilson put me in mind of this — This will reach
