of getting an Architect for the contract. The former business
must be a preliminary to the latter, not a consequence. It
was not your idea to contract with anyone till I had done
my best towards perfecting the plan of construction. And
this I could not do without the advantage of consulting
some Architect whose opinion has title to confidence. The
Model with the advice belonging to it is wanting now, &
here in England. But an Architect for the contract, I am
apt to think cannot so well be had in England as in Ireland.
My reasons I will take the liberty of submitting to you by
another opportunity. As to what I said about trying the
experiment in the great with boards & Canvass, it was
only the random idea of the moment, it is neither necessary
nor perhaps practicable. The Model might and ought to be
adapted to all the several Establishments to which the
principle promises to be applicable. I suppose four such
establishments. This may be done either by fitting up the
four quarters of the circle in the different manners: or —
compleating the whole circle in any one manner & making
parts in it capable of being shifted. The most complicated
and therefore the 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 necessary unnecessary.

3. Inserting advertisements for candidates for the
management-contract — I beg leave to submit to you
a form for that purpose. You mean, I presume, to take
every chance for Information and opportunity of choice
that advertising can give you.
