the change of words so frequent in that atmosphere, may,
perhaps by this time have bought about another —
But why do I sit to write all this stuff,
when I shall see you in a day or two
Now to . . &c
all might majesty & domninion
& so forth
Jerey Bentham
I will get a
definitive answer
from
Ramsden, so
as to send you
down a pair
of Barnacles
either of his
making or of
some body's
else's by my
Father
You are to say nothing about my
Father's intentions of coming to Mr Gray.
Monday evening
April 25th 1774
Letter last but one "therefore if there are any faults
excuse" why do you write so ? any body (I should
be ashamed to shew your letter) any body I was going
to say would think I was your Father or your
Schoolmaster — But as much of that as you would
to my father — I have told you so before, You
neither speak nor write respectfully enough to him — You
don't say "Sir" often enough — I saw your last letter
You called him bluntly a Lawyer - you should have
said "of the profession of the Law" or somewhat of
that sort.
Put all this into the fire — Dead men tell no
tales. —
