Committee had ever thought fit so to employ itself.
In case of suspicion of fraud or delinquency in any
shape, yes, but that I flatter myself is not the present
case.
By the next meeting of the Committee, if it should
not be so early as to morrow, I hope so to be able to
submitt the remainder of such answers as I shall have been
able to find to the questions that are before me.
I hope nothing like disrespect towards the Committee
will be imputed to me for having thus forborne to
present myself as if ready to give sudden answers
to questions for which it has been impossible to me, nowithstanding
my utmost exertions — to put myself in a state of
tolerably adequate preparation.
When these answers have been received and considered
I shall be ready to give to the best of my power, present
answers to any such ulterior questions as may have been
suggested by these, the Committee signifying to me
their order for that purpose.
I hope by that time to have sufficiently matured
the expedient that has occurred to me for meeting that
I understand to be the wishes of the Committee, as to
the accommodating the original plan to what appears
at present the most pressing exigency, viz. the
reception of females.
I am, with all respect,
Sir, Your most obedient Servant
Jeremy Bentham.
