As to The details of construction, they can not be definitively
settled, nor consequently the building contract
made till some resolution is to sort of
settlement is come to with regard to the choice
of the manufacture. For suppose a very peculiarly
promising manufacture offers and the mode
of construction entered upon fixed agreed for upon is such as puts a
negative upon it? It shall will be my study however to give
it every latitude, and I have hit upon expedients for
the purpose.

It was not your idea to contract with any one

the four quarters of the circle in the different manners: or completing the
whole circle in any one manner, and making parts in it capable of
being shifted. The most complicated and therefore most compleat is
the mode adapted to solitary confinement: and the variations from it would be made
chiefly by the simple removal of a few different parts which different degrees of
relaxation in the severity of the discipline would render unnecessary.
