calculation, as being superior to all calculation, is not any damage
at all, in the eyes of their Lordship's professional advisor.
Mr Boodle told me it was not so in the eyes of their
Lordship's Surveyor, Mr Borden: which Mr Borden himself confirmed
to me on the first application in 1796 or 1797: and
now again more than once, on this second: & from Mr Boodle's
candour I have all along understood the same thing: and
he gave me to understand all along, and I believe even
in express words, that if their Lordships were thoroughly
persuaded that the Penitentiary House would be set down
any where in their Neighborhood, they would join in
endeavours to have it in Tothill Fields: and on one occasion
viz: that of his proposing a plan of co-operation, to
which on my part I had not the smallest objection, he
not only spoke of it, as a plan beneficial to the Grosvenor
Estate in his opinion, but so much so, that the advantage
of it would in Ld Belgrave's Fill up surmount the disadvantage
even of giving up his residence. —

Matters resting upon this issue, I hope I shall not be thought
unreasonable, Sir, in preferring this my humble request, that an
official Letter may be addressed to me, assuring me that it is
the fixed determination of their Lordships, that if the proposed
Division & Appropriation of Tothill Fields cannot take place, the
building shall in that case be set down, on the Estate purchased
for that purpose; — and that without delay, notwithstanding any
remonstrances that have been, or can be made: being assured, as
above, that, upon my producing a letter to that effect, opposition
will be converted into assistance. But if, notwithstanding my expectations
to the contrary, or it should have happened, that any answer favourable
to such remonstrances should either have been made, by any
competent authority, or so intended to be, I most humbly entreat,
that the communication of such change may not be witholden
from me, and that here at least I may find an end of my labours
& expences, should what is past, prove to have been thrown away. —
