Dear Sir

I really know not what interpretation
to put upon your letter dated the 19th and received
this evening, unless it be that your noble
principals are incapable of hearing reason, and
that your endeavours to prevent them from injuring
themselves are become hopeless. As to self-denial to submitt to some
inconvenience simply and purely may require a
certain degree of self-denial that quality proportioned to the
magnitude of the inconvenience: but what is certain
of self-denial that it requires to make choice take refuge in of
a less inconvenience from a greater inconvenience
of the same kind? So far from its being
true that their plan will be deputed by the Penitentiary
plan, it is from to the latter that the former
will derive its only means of realising itself. For
magnificent as their line of building might be,
how ever would they to come at it but by means of
that communication as now or rather has been for the first time is in
their power? Unfortunate it is indeed for
themselves, for the public, and for whom when
is connected with this branch of the public
service that their eyes should be so disturbed by
passion as to be incapable of measure as making
as to prefer a is to bind them to fix upon themselves contiguity if to the supposed
nuisance, to a contiguity of such is to be
forward of a quarter or half a mile distance.
