Dear Papa
I received your letter that you sent me on Monday, and finding
that you did not approve of my going home till Wednesday, I was entirely
indifferent about it, as it was the same to me whither I went a week
sooner or later: but as Wheatly seem'd desirous of having my Company, I could
not help telling him that I would ask your leave to go that day, not thinking that you would have any objection to it.— I have been to wait on Mr Lee, and was received very obligingly. Mrs Bentham has been for some time
at Heddington about two Mills with her little boy for the recovery
of his health; for he has been very ill. I have taken a place in Bew's
Machine that inns at the Bull in Holborn and gets there by a little
after 5. as I shall see you so soon, I have nothing more to add but my
duty to you and my Grandmama and love to dear Sammy, and that I
am
Your dutiful and
affectionate Son
J. Bentham.
Queen's Coll. Decr 21 1761.
