St. James's Aug.t 4th 1783
Sir
I have receiv'd the honor of your Letter, and am very
sorry I was prevented from having the pleasure of seeing you
when you called at the Offices; on your return to Town I
hope I shall be more fortunate.
The very distinguished character which your son has
so very deservedly acquired will make me very desirous
to recommend it to my Son to cultivate his acquaintance
and intimate friendship, and there are so few young
men who endeavour to acquire useful knowledge
that those who do have a just right to every possible
encouragement, and I shall be happy if I can in
any shape be of the least use to Mr Bentham; and
I shall hope he will find my son deserving of his
acquaintance and friendship, and I shall take the
the liberty to desire you will give him a Line of
Introduction when I have the pleasure of seeing you.
I am with great Truth & esteem
Sir
Your mst obed.t
humble Servant
Wm Fraser.
To
Jeremiah Bentham Esqr
Datchet
near Windsor
Free
Wm Fraser.
