[Letter] 1817 Aug[us]t 27, Tanhurst [to] Jeremy Bentham

             Tanhurst
               Aug[us]t 27, 1817

   Dear Bentham,
        The ladies will not have 
the slightest objection to your 
visitor & for myself I shall be 
very glad to meet him. From 
letters I have seen of his I 
have no doubt of his being a 
very extraordinary man though 
I should not have supposed 
him to have so much influence
as you represent. I was 
ery much gratified by seeing
Dumont's letter & you received 
it only 24 hours later than 
you would have done if it 
had been directed to you. I was 
sorry I shall be obliged to 
disobey your Subpoena 
duces tecum to Frederick's 
great grief much more than
to yours, much as you may 
wish to see him but all 
things considered we find 
ourselves obliged to leave 
him at home.
L[ad]y R. & Sophy desire to be 
very kindly remembered to you.
       Mr dear Bentham
        Most sincerely yours
          Sam[ue]l Romilly


1817 Aug 27. 
Romilly Tanhurst to 
J.B. Ford Abbey. 
No objection to meet 
F.P. & Daughter.
