Dear Papa Queen's. Febry. 5th. 1762.
I hoped to have had the pleasure of hearing from
you before now; but as that could not be, I flatter myself I shall not
be disappointed of an Answer to this, when it comes to hand. I have
the Satisfaction of telling you that I go on briskly in Homer, doing
generally a book in two days, which is no very inconsiderable thing, to do
exclusive of the College-business. —You cannot expect a long letter from
a place so destitude of Novelty as this is, all that the news there is here is that
the College is not only as full as it can hold but even fuller, there
having come 3 or 4 in the little time time that I was absent ..
of whom his name is Piers; whose father is a wholesale Grocer in
London; which puts me in mind of my wants, which I hope you will
be so kind as to supply; you may guess I mean Tea and Sugar; or else
I must be forced to get some here at half as much again as you can
get it me for; I have been forced to live upon my Friends this 2 or
3 days. Pray give my duty to my Grandmama and love to brother
Sammy, and fullfill the expectations of
Your dutiful and
affectionate Son
J. Bentham. —
