Bowood Park
22d May 1789
Dear Mr. Bentham
I must first thank you for
your Book, that I am afraid I mus still
range myself among the Philosophers
whose capacity more than choice oblig'd
them to prefer popular to the occult Bodies
of Doctrine. I shall however wait with
more Impatience for what is to come.
I return you the Abbé Morellet's
Letters with many thanks & hope you
will send me de quoi il s'orgit as soon
as any thing is printed here or there,
but you seem to have misunderstood
me, when I desir'd not to hear from
you, till you had dispatch'd what you
had in hand for the States general,
and to have support'd that I never
desir'd to hear from you more. I
want to know how your Brother does,
