Mr Jefferson was so dissatisfied with my Verses,
that I almost question whether he gave them up.
I do not believe he has done me much service
except railing at me, which he has done pretty
plentifully he told me in the morning just before
the meeting, that if my Verses had been ever so
good I should have had very little chance, but
that as it was I had none at all. But since then,
I do not know why, he has altered his note a
little and become a little more gracious. I believe
you will receive a letter from him soon, but more of
this when I shall have the pleasure of seeing
you, in expectation of which, I remain
Your dutifull and
affectionate Son
J. Bentham.
Wednesday June 29th 1703,
I hope you will excuse my loose
writing, which is occasioned by a cut in my finger.
