B.G.H 10thAugt 1808
Sir
I have to acknowledge your Letter of the 8 th
instant, received yesterday at this place.
My answer has been written, and copied, and waits
for nothing but my revisal I can venture to promise
the dispatch of it from this place before this
week is at an end. ] When it arrives, the Commissioner
will find, if it was only from the length of it
that I have not been idle. On grappling with
the subject, it was not without concern that I found
how far the manner which I had taken of it at
a distance, was from proving correct. The
need of access to the papers in respect of which
in apprehension made by me was not found proper to
be complied with, produced some embarrassment,
and embarrassment produces delay.
In respect of the
Addressed to
Wm Walter Esqr
or other the Secretary
to the Commes of
audit at their
office Adelphi
London
The answer would some days ago have been
transmitted to the Adelphi, but for an address
which it round necessary to me to make at
the same time, to another place: and my work was
for reasons that will be seen, my wish was
that little demand for together -
I am sir
your most obedient and
humble servant
Jeremy Bentham
