I take the liberty of inclosing two Sketches which I happen to
have by me: the more finished one gives a general Idea of the plan of
the building in its present shape: the rough one will serve to exhibit
the intended proportions according to a more recent determination, together
with a new contrivance for indicating the hour to the Neighbourhood all
around at a greater distance than can be done by any dial plate or
number of dial-plates.

As to the system of guarding and the intended
position of the Watch Houses, the plate N.o 3, accompanying the book
which I hope Your Lordship has received, will represent it with sufficient
accuracy for the present purpose.

To the protection of an armed force, I think I may venture to
add as an accession to the Neighbourhood, the authority of a magistrate
ready at all times and at all hours to direct its application. Though
I am not present in the Commission of the Peace, yet having been bred
up to the bar, and having succeeded about 1 1/2 Year ago to the estate of
my late Father, who was in the Commission for two Counties, I may
without much presumption suppose it not unlikely that if I thought
fit (and in such a situation I should think fit) to have my Name
inserted for Surrey, it would not be rejected, and in that case, and in
that situation I may leave it to Your Lordship to judge whether the
Neighbourhood would be likely to find me negligent of their service.

Before I quit the subject of security give me leave to assure Your
Lordship, that any further measures, which might suggest themselves
to Your Lordship in this view, would not find me backward in
adopting them, not is it a small expence that would prevent me.
