Situation
Should not be
an unhealthy
one – such as
the marshes
on the Kent &
Essex Coast.
1. ↑ hardship
to compel persons
to in such
a situation.
2. The Bills
of sickness & mortality
would alarm
the public,
and induce a
suspicion that
the ill health
was to be attributed
to the plague.
It should have
ground enough
for Kitchen
Garden and
Pleasure Ground.
Public walk,
where Sailors
and others of
the lowest class
might take the
air without
doing damage.
Exposed to view
of some of the
private walks
but not all of
them.

Means of amusement
provided.
Organ & Organist
Billiard Tables
Bowling green.
Fives Court of

Airing Process
In the humid
the regularity
of the seasons
and the heat
of the sun may
render exposure
to the open Air
sufficient.
This will not
be sufficient
in England.
Vessels may arrive
in winter,
when for several
days there is
no Sun, & perhaps
continued
rain.
The Draught
should be regular
– not in sudden
gusts, which
would blow it
into close heaps
impervious to
the air.
The Airing-cage
should
fill up the
whole of the
admission-duct.
Would there
be any means
of drying the
Air
Air in damp
weather before
its entrance?
By Pearl-Ash,
so as to
fall into deliquium
In unpacking,
the dirtied part
to be carefully
separated from
the clean.

Cells
Walls stucco
or plain lime-whited
– not
wood nor paper
Bedsteads, iron.
No Sashes nor
curtains – unless
washing –
to be paid for
extra – and delivered
clean
to every one on
entrance.
