To Sir J Parnel Letter II

Aug. 17th 1790
Sir
I am much
obliged by the very
explicit communications
with which
you have honoured been pleased
me to favour me - With regard
to the buildings
for the charity
I am not sure
whether under by
the "consult"ation
you do me the
honour to propose
you meant by in the way of
letter correspondence after your
return to Ireland,
or in the way of viva voce
here in England
a conversation here
in England. In another way I am
equally at your service. In
the latter case
I will wait on
you with great
pleasure in Wimpole
Street at
any time you
will please to appoint:
observing however
that whatever time
of the day your
letter is put in
I it will not reach
shall not have it
till the next day afternoon
nor consequently
can obey your
commands some
than the day after.

Have you seen
Sir T. Beevor's
account of the
Penitentiary House
build under established by his
procurement at
Wymondham in
Norfolk — I mention
it on account
of the experimental
proof of it affords
of the frugality of
this mode of punishment,
the profit
of the earnings
having been turned out more
than double the expence
of maintenance.

It is asserted I have it in
the Annual .
of for 1786, in
which it is said
to be extracted from
the 3d Vol. of the
Bath Society of
Agriculture.

I take the liberty
of enclosing another
account from Oxford
of which the
result is little less
favourable. If you
have not already
a copy of it, this
is at your service.
as I dare say I
shall be able to
get another.

I mention the
What manner matters
there
the
of economy is,
that it was the
horror of the experience
& that alone that put
a stop to the
institution of it
upon a large
scale in England.
If an
equal degree of
economy could
be observed in
Ireland, who knows
but that the earning
might pay not
only the expence
of maintenance
but the
of the more capital
laid out in
building? especially
by the help of
the additional advantage
as well in point
of discipline as
in point of frugality
of building.
which may be hoped
for from the
peculiarities of
the plan which
has the honour
of your approbation.
