To learn exactly how this matter stands, is in the
power of the Committee. — In former days I remember
hearing it said that it was by the advice of his Physicians
that the residence of the present Ld Grosvenor (then Lord
Belgrave) was continued so long on this very spot. For
assuredly there is no part of the ground in question lower
than the spot which not many years ago he took in
and converted into pleasure ground, and which from the
ground in question is separated by nothing but a wall
or a ditch.

In the providing of this receptacle I should be happy in
the assistance of any one Gentleman whom the Committee,
or any authority recommended by the Committee,
would be pleased to name: indeed I should not be
willing to undertake the business without some such assistance.

Let the money for example be lodged in the Bank of
England or if that can not be, in the hand of some Banker
not named by either of us — at any rate they should not
be those of an Banker of mine. No money to be drawn for,
but in our joint draughts specifying on each the person in
whose favour and the nature of the service.

What I assume is — that by this my Supervisor
(such I take leave to call him) the Panopticon principle
is approved. This being the case, supposing any difference
between us, the ground of it would probably be — that he as not
being the inventor, would not have all the confidence in
the potency of the principle that I the inventor should have.

Such elements of security as to me would seem sufficient, I
should accordingly state. Supposing them in his eyes insufficient,
let him add such others as to him would seem
sufficient,
