Now the doubts and difficulties that remain concerning it are these.
Of the 11 articles that compose that side of the account in
which Gen. Bentham is Creditor viz. by so many draughts
drawn by you and paid by him when due, the 9
first are all of them on account of the Penitentiary House
beyond doubt, and as Mr Bentham all these draughts except
the first [viz. Oct. 18 1794 for £150] Mr Bentham
happens to have had in his hands for several years past. But
the two last viz. Jany 1 1796 for £90, and Oct. 3 1796
for £200 he does not find with the rest.

Now the case is, as you will most well remember, that and
as appears by a letter of yours dated Jany 8th 1796 which
we have, that so early as at that time you had begun
drawing been doing other business of another sort for the
General, and for another place, viz. Redbridge since you therein
say "According to Mr Lloyds request, I last night sent the
"drawings and Models for the Keels" (the Keels that were afterwards
"made in cast iron) by the Mail track directed to you or John
"Poire lsyr Redbridge Hants." And, in a former letter so early as
June 17th 1795 to the General you say "We can cast the Shafts and Wheels and send them in
"the time mentioned by
Mr Lloyd:" can this
have had any thing to
do with the Penitentiary
House?

Our reasons for thinking that in this account however
no article is comprized that does not belong to the Penitentiary
House is this: "that in the last of the 8 articles on that side
of the account in which you are creditors, viz. Novr 10th
1795 £200 To goods for invoice £267.8. we have the
invoice, and as the articles are such as unquestionably were for the
Penitentiary House: and we can not think that so early as the last
Article viz but one viz. Sept 22 1795 £ "To Goods per
Invoice £356. 6s. any goods unless it were these Shafts and Wheels had been furnished by you f to
the General for any other purpose than that of the Penitentiary
House: unfortunately for this need the two articles next before it
viz Feb. in 1795 and April 24 1795 we have no invoice:
though we have for the 4 others. Seven entry ye I
have found after dated Augt 5 1795 which
speaks of being punithed, no pt of wch wd
