Sir,
A number of circumstances you mentioned, and in
particular that of the suspension put to establishments
already begun, or waiting to be begun, concur in impressing
me with the idea, that not a moment's time ought to be lost.
On this account I find it necessary to trouble you thus early
in order to beg your commands relative to the following
points, viz 1. Getting a Copy made of the Treatise you saw.
2 Getting a model made of the Building - 3 Inserting - Advertisements
for candidates for the management-contract.
4. Drawing up & printing statements relative to the plan for
the use of such Candidates. 5 Appointing an Agent for the
correspondence. 6. Providing funds for the above purposes.
7. Authority to act; and instructions respecting the Degree
of secresy (for the present) to be observed. 8. Encouragem:t
to be held out to undertakers. 9 Expediting the printing
in Ireland. —

1. Getting a Copy taken of the treatise. Things are at
a stand still till that is done; transmitted to his Excellency and
his orders taken upon it. You have no means I suppose of getting it
done other than by putting it out to Copy, which if done by
a single person would be a work of time; besides that you
are quitting London. By taking it to pieces & distributing
it I could get it done in the compass of a day. These things
are done at known prices. To cut the matter short, I will
get it done. I hope to get it done by Monday night or —
Tuesday morning. If you disapprove of the expence it
rests with me. Meantime you will be gone to Buxton -
Shall I address it to you thither for you to send to Ireland?
Or shall I address it in my own name to Mr Hobart? If so
will you write to him en droiture to explain the matter,
or will you send me a letter for him open or sealed, to accompany
