he saw me when I was entered: so I am to go into another room till my<lb/> | |||
own is finished. It has been painted & paper'd, tho' not with your paper<lb/> | |||
as M<hi rend="superscript">r</hi> Jefferson I suppose has told you. here indeed I am quite ashamed<lb/> | |||

my room Paper'd then, I told him yes I believed he might: for I thought<lb/> | |||
you had <del>only</del> mentioned the sending of Paper from town only<lb/> | |||
as a thing that might be done, and I did not care to be upon<lb/> | |||
such an uncertainty, as I thought it was. M<hi rend="superscript">r</hi> Jefferson lectures<lb/> | |||
us upon Theoprastus's Characters and <foreign>Grotius de veritate Christianae<lb/> | |||
Relligionis</foreign>. this day the bells rang on account <add>of </add> Lord Leigh<lb/> | |||
being entered at Oriel <sic>Colledge </sic>. I have here sent you <sic>inclosed </sic><lb/> | |||
a Letter to M<hi rend="superscript">r </hi>Skinner which if you approve of it, you may<lb/> | |||
send to him, as you mentioned to me, in which if I have left out<lb/> | |||
any particulars concerning myself that you would be glad to know<lb/> | |||
you may find them. I have wrote a letter to my Aunt Grove&<lb/> | |||
have let her know I intend to write to my Cousin Mulford<lb/> | |||
very soon. excuse me, if you think my letter too short; for you<lb/> | |||
know my letter to M<hi rend="superscript">r </hi> Skinner if you look into it will be as<lb/> | |||
good as another from</p> | |||
<p>Your most dutiful<lb/> | |||
& affectionate Son</p> | |||
<p>Jeremy Bentham.</p> | |||
<note>PS. pray do not forget my duty to my<lb/> | |||
Grandmama, and love to dear brother <sic>Samy</sic><lb/> | |||
who I hope together with yourself are<lb/> | |||
very well, as I have been all this time.</note> | |||
