are not even so much as disappointed. To be sure in whatever</del
light soever we ought to look upon the news, good or bad, nothing
can be more flattering than the manner in which it has been
convey'd to us. I have sent your letter, as it is, to town, to be
forwarded to my Uncle & to Mr Mulford. It is the more agreable
to me inasmuch as I look upon it as affording no inconsiderable
presumption that the air of the Terras agrees with you.
For my part I am here very much at my ease, in a situation
very favourable to the only occupation and the only amusement
I am capable of. Owing to a variety of causes I get
forward here much better than at London.
The Mr & Mrs Bentham you missed of were the very
persons you conjectured: you were in better luck than I. What
grounds they could have for the surprise they expressed at finding
you out of town, I know not. If they had asked me about
it, they would have heard: as they did not, I said nothing to
them on the subject. I received them civilly while they
staid, but it was no object of mine to protract their visit.
