My dear Sir
Thanks for the return of your father's letters which have reached me safely and in reply to your note you are at perfect liberty to publish any portion of any of them which you may wish to do – though there are here and there to me passages rather too complimentary – which however you will probably yourself think it better to pass over
Yours very truly
George Bentham
