No. 1.
Mr. Bentham to SirC. Bunbury.

12th April 1802.

Dear Sir
By what I understood from my Brother t'other day, according
to what he understood from you — You had the goodness to say that you had
not only mentioned the Penitentiary business to Lord Pelham — but that you
should have no objection to mention it in Parliament. In the event of
your continuing in the same mind, it would be of great use to me to
have an interview with you on the subject, provided you could find time
enough for what would be necessary to say about it, which would not be
less than half an hour. In that event if you would be kind enough to
name a time and a place, I would attend you thankfully & with pleasure.

☞ Sir Charles thereupon called upon Mr. Bentham, that day or the
next in Queen Square Place.

No. 2.

Mr. to Sir C. Bunbury.

25th April 1802

Penitentiary Establishment

Dear Sir
Inclosed are some papers+ which will serve to shew you how
the business stands as between me and the present Treasury.

As soon as you can find time, after you have cast an eye
over them, I hope to be favoured with an interview for the purpose of concerting
further operations: and I flatter myself that there will be no
need for me to wish to trouble you, to say any thing about the business
in Parliament.

+ These were the correspondence of Mr Bentham with Messrs
Addingtons and Vansittart, together with the Memorial mentioned in
the next letter. The correspondence was the same as that sent on a
former occasion to Mr Wilberforce.
