Hendon Decr 10th 1788
My Dear Father
I can but ill spare time; but the occasion, though I hope
it will happen often will not happen every day, and when a
father turns seducer, it is difficult for a son to resist. I will
therefore obey your summons if God permit. In the mean time
I send you some papers which perhaps may afford you some
amusement. I shall only add that the prayer of Wilsons petition
which you will find among them is granted for divers causes and considerations
besides those he mentions. I was asked t'other day by a
gentleman you don't know whether the Defense of Usury was yet published
in French? I asked him how he came to expect it should be?
his answer was because a short time ago the Comte de Mirabeau
had told him at Paris he intended translating it or getting it translated.
You will return me the papers on Saturday: till when
I remain Your Affectionate J.B.
P.S. Wilson must never know I shew'd his
letter even to you: if he did, he would take
it very much amiss.
