plan against transportation. If so, how many?
and for speed & certainty may I address them to you
through the official Channel?
I told you I stood engaged to give a Postscript <lb/. to a new edition of the Defence of Usury, on the
subject of the Reduction plan, I mean to do it as
drily and concisely as possible. Could you favour
me in half a dozen words with the points you still
rest it upon? It would save me a world of paper
in beating about for shadows. Of course I should
neither mention you nor allude to you as having
sent it me. I would send it you before it was
printed, if you thought it worth your while to
look at it. If it were my good fortune to convince
you, it might be by argument which I have
seen treated touched upon n the debates, and which would
apply to abundance of measures besides this.
I have the honour to be
with the truest respect, Sir,
Your most obed.t hble Serv:t
Jeremy Bentham
Hendon Middlesex<lb/. Sep. 2d 1790 —
The Right Hon Sir John Parnell &c &c
