are not even so much as disappointed. To be sure in whatever
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.
