hopes that it may not be disagreable, as it comes from
Your dutiful and affectionate
Son
Jeremy Bentham.
Pray give my duty to my Grandmama
who I hope is well as well as Sammy.
I have just now thought of something
that I wanted to say; I think I may as
well carry up with me my light brown
Cloathes, since they are too little
for me now, and will be much more so
when we go out of Mourning; and they
will make a very good suit for one
of Your poor tenants.
* Nemo satis credit tantum delinquere, quantum
Permittas. — Give an Inch and he will take an Ell
Oscula cum rapuit formosâ a Phyllide Battus,
Praedanti ignovit Nympha benigna dolo.
Attamen ulterius juvenis cum posceret andax,
Nec donum acceptum diceret esse satis;
Discedas, apage; tibi nam sanè aeneus est frons:
Quod bona sum, tu nune improbus, (inquit,) eris.
