1793.8.16

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 imparte 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 2 or 3 cottages 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 separator perfect, I am
ready to supply. On the South side where the rising ground is (on
which the buildings would be created) 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 heading down from the great road to the River. On
the North, they are bounded compleatly by the road which runs parallel
to 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 perceptible rising Bridge called in the
maps
