I suppose you would have no objection to repeat it to me upon
paper, that in the way of conversation I might make use of
it, especially in the form in which you mentioned which
was nothing more than the opinion of the moment relative to
what ought & probably would be done. What is the standard
you had in view from which the savings should be computed?
The present annual average expence exclusive of that of the
building? In the article of felons for example I think you
mentioned in a loose way the expence as being little short of
£15 a head a year? Say 15.l for example, is it your meaning
that the contract might be made at 15:l a head, and that
for so so much saving as shall be proved to be made out of that,
the undertaker should have his pension? —

9 - Expediting the printing of the treatise in Ireland
In applying for information to people whom on account
of their distance I can only address by letter, it would be almost
necessary I should have Copies of the treatise, to send them.
Suppose fifty — You could send them over I suppose by the messenger.
There would be no end in giving descriptions by letter. But
the treatise would be imperfect without engraved plans
annexed to it. Those you saw, though better than nothing
do not come up to the purpose. They ought to have the
latest improvements resulting from the consultations
with the Architect. They ought to be copies of the draughts
from which the Model is made. Another reason for
accelerating the settlement and construction of the Model.

The earliness of the printing need not hinder the deferring
of the publication in Ireland to the time you proposed.

You would not dislike I suppose to have a Copy of the
correspondence & candidates &c, if not to look over at least
