    Description: High Wycombe, 25 Nov r 1789

    Dear Sir,

    No one could make me a more acceptable Present than the

    Picture you have been so good to send me & your Son. The Character

    you give of him makes his Society invaluable to me whose

    Lot it has been hitherto to spend my Life in a Political Hospital

    His disinterestedness and originality of Character refreshes

    me as much as the Country air does a London They've can

    Besides Lord Wycombe loves him as much as I do,

    so that his Portrait will be sure to be respected for

    two generations. But I beg you will say nothing to him

    of the Present which you have been so good to make me

    I hope you will present my respects to M. rs Bentham

    and that you will believe me with real regard

    Your faithful humble serv. t

    Sir,

    I received your's, but I never heard that M r

    Blackburn had published, or even written a Pamphlet

    on the Penitentiary Houses — I often talked to him

    on the Subject, & wished him to write down his Remarks,

    Which he said he would, but when I enquired for

    them, he pleaded Want of Leisure.

    I shall see his Brother in Law when I return to

    Town next Week, who I make no Doubt, will

    let me see any Papers, is there are any, he has left

    on that Subject, & with his Leave, I will transmit

    them to you —

    I am, with great Regard,

    Your very obed t Serv t.

  • Title: [Dear Sir. With Pleasure I receiv]
    Description: Dear Sir.

    With Pleasure I receiv'd your Young Man

    better in health than when he left me, the which has

    continued to him ever since: I now return him to

    spend his Holidays with you. & good M rs. Bentham,

    which I hope will be attended with Mirth, & Happyness.

    Agreeable to your desires I herewith send a

    Copy of the Indentures & Bond by which M. r Mikes

    were drawn (One of the Originals is mislaid) with

    this only difference that the sume at 30 Pounds a Year

    is 200 Guineas, instead of Pounds; as the naming more

    than Pounds twas said would occasion a great additional Tax

    Any alteration or amendment you shall think

    proper to make will I dare say be acceptable: I being

    his sincere well wisher. I find him a very worthy Young Gent -

    as such he Merritts the Esteem of all who knows him.

    With much Esteem & Respects I am —

    Dear Sir

    Your most Obed: t Humble Serv t.
