I wrote by the last a former post to the Archbishop as being at
the greater distance: a little more fully copiously as to some point
less so as to others as not having the honour to be not absolutely
unknown to him: to him I enclosed some papers
expressive of the consent concurrence of the intended Supervisors under
the original Penitentiary Act: which had indeed as far as Sr C.
Bunbury was concerned, had already been publickly expressed in
the House of Commons. My original proposal if I can get a
copy ready time enough shall wait upon your Lordship by
the next post if not by the present: together with a printed
but unpublished book in which the principles on which the
plan is grounded are developed at large.

Putting the matter upon the footing of a reference
a fresh valuation to be will I should humbly presume
which supercedes the
necessity of thinking
of the present rent
or any other special circumstance
relative that may
have an influence on
to the value
supercede thereby the necessity of the part of your Lordship
of any previous reference to any Steward or Law-Agent
of your Lordships a measure scarcely compatible
with the degree of despatch I am obliged to attest sue for: and
it is this consideration that withholds me from making
the offer of any specific sum, price sum, a liberty
I might otherwise have hazarded, though under the
ignorance I am in with respect to the rental and
other circumstances, it could have as other than a
very random cast. Wh
Whether the land estate is in settlement or no makes
no difference. In either case an Act of Parliament will
be equally necessary on account of the interest of the Archbishop.
