Edinr 14th September 1784
Dear Bentham!
I have received yours last night; and shall do according
to your direction. If you had written some
days sooner, I would have had a fine opportunity
to send any thing to Petersburg; the ship having
left this place last friday. — The Encyclopedia
is in 9 volums bound, as I promised you,
the 10th volumeor last volum is not yet published
on account of the proprietors disagreement
amongst one another — I shall send these
9 volums with the first vessel, for which
sails from Leith to London under the direction
you mention, as there us no probability
of any other vessel going to Petersburg this Season.
I have been exceedingly well since I left
you, and my work goes on very briskly;
I shall spend this winter here, and arrange every
thing in such a manner that I can go afterwards
where I please — a fashion I am long accustomed
to — I am obliged to you for your account
of Kempel's but wish you would be more explicit
