I also enclose a paper, which I was supplied with by Mr.
Chamberlayn Sollicitor of the Treasury, at the instance of Sir Charles
Bunbury and Mr. Nepean shewing the parcels and exhibiting the
state of the transaction at the time of its suspension which took place
on account of the then poverty of the treasury and nothing else, as Lord
Lansdown, by whom on consultation with Lord Sydney the suspension
was determined on, informed me several Years ago in conversation at
his own house.

It is for want of information that Your Lordship has found it
necessary to give that temporary refusal to which it is impossible for
any one to impute blame: and which Your Lordship does not absolutely
preclude me from hoping to see recalled.— May I flatter myself that
the deficiency has been now supplied?

After the perusal of the inclosed paper, Your Lordship
(I think I may venture to promise myself) will have no doubt about the
spot. I think then Your Lordship will recognize that the only dwellings that
can in any sense material to the present purpose be said to be near, are
the two or three Cattages and the Public House, (the sign of the Falcon kept
by Death.) Of these the Rents can be but trifling: but be they what they may,
I am perfectly ready to include them in the purchase.

The premises are almost entirely separated from all other land by
roads, and what is wanting to make the separation perfect, I am ready to
supply. On the South side where the rising ground is (on which the building
would be erected) they are bounded perfectly by the great Road from London to
Wandsworth. On the West side, they are also perfectly bounded (setting the
Cottages out of the question) by another Road leading down from the great
Road to the River. On the North; they are bounded compleatly by the
road which runs parallel the River, (the road from Battersea to Wandsworth)
on the other side of which road are the Distiller's establishment and other
Houses: but from these houses the Penitentiary House would be distant
the whole length of the premises, being upwards of half a Mile. Over
this part of the road is thrown the scarce perceptibly-rising Bridge called in
