a retrograde gout, as I am informed by a friend of mine a physician who
to see him: but that on the 16th of last month (the day when
my friend's letter was dated) which was three weeks after the
fit, he was pretty nearly recover'd: on such a text, at this critical
period, with a little management, a sermon of decent length,
might I humbly conceive, be preached.
The ground I tread on here is classic ground. "Give
us our rights" lives next door but one: and Capt: Douglas
the engineer another of the anonymous ineclation of Sterne entitled Travelling
Anecdotes, a stock book I warrant you at Bates's, is somewhere
in the camp. The Duke of Richmond at the review here was
observed to take a good deal of notice of Capt Major Cartwright, a bird of his own feather
The length of my last will account for, and, I hope, excuse,
the shortness of this. Once more therefore adieu, and believe
me ever your's dutifully and affectionately
Jeremy Bentham.
I hope it will not be long before I hear of the gouts you would
have had, had it not been for the waters: and of the stock of health
you have laid in against the winter.
