10 Sept. 1812
To Ld Sidmouth

Oh but it has been either said or supposed pretended to be – (and
pretended to be supposed it must be or the no other
objection will exhibit so much as the shadow of a weight).
You may do what you will – you may afford what facility
of access you will – nobody whose resp presence would
in the way of inspection and superintendence be of any use
will profit by it.

My Lord, I will put the matter again upon this
issue. Whether with by or without any default of mine,
if there be any deficiency of reasonable access to the
domestic friends of the prisoners – if there be any deficiency in
respect of the quantum of public company of all sorts affluence deemed
necessary to the purpose of superintending inspection
whether with a to by whatsoever cause owing produced, and whether
any defaults on my part has or has not borne any
part of it, let this be d of itself deemed sufficient
cause for my removal or for the giving up the plan
altogether, viz. on the ground that in this essential particular
it has been found by experience incapable of
answering its intended and expected purpose.

In this case event, that is if there were any want deficiency
in the article of publicity of management I should have no
ground for complaining of injustice. If those more were
ever pledged for anything, I am for my exertions endeavours to that end. If ever a mode plan of architecture were calculated for publicity
it is this which from the invention of my Brother. But that
in a building all the inhabitants of which are capable of
being inspected at one glance, either my endeavour on my part to obtain
such inspection not will either be unemployed or ineffectual
is one of the number of Mr H.s postulates, and necessary it
is that it should be so, since otherwise the substituting of his
plan of choice and scant management for my management would
be destitute of all shadow of a ground.
