12 Sept. 1812
To Ld Sidmouth

In the course of the audience its with which Your Lordship
had the goodness to indulge me On the above mentioned
15th of June, in requesting a hearing on tis subject I
stated myself as having been "condemned unheard" –
and Your Lordship will understand without much
difficulty, that on the supposition that in my own indignant
very good purpose promised to be answered by complaint
by the exhibition, matter of complaint could not, in my own view of the
matter at least, be wanting to me.

For the prospect present at any rate, it seems to me that,
without prejudice to the public service, I may hold myself
for the most part exempted from any such unpleasant necessity – For the present
I shall accordingly, as closely as possible, confine myself to two principal
points, and those touched upon in the concisest most abridged manner possible,
viz. the what I conceive myself able, and, to the sacrifice of all personal interests
ready and willing and acknowledged rights, are willing ready and willing desirous
I was ready conceive myself all to do for the cause of the
public and the prisons: 2. to what in the same way
I am ready and willing to do for the purpose of during no removing at one stroke stroke
whatsoever objections have ever been made to the putting continuing
the management in my hands.

If, in the course of the explanations in question necessary
to the above purposes matter of complaint should
happen to find itself interspersed here and there present itself be distinguishable be observed presenting itself, it will only be in
so as far as it the insertions a mention made of intimations given mention made of it will have
it been found unavoidably necessary to those other
purposes.
