J. B. to Rt Hon. W. Pitt. Not sent

16 Sept. 1794
Sir
The attention you have been pleased to
bestow hitherto upon the Panopticon plan has had produced
no other effect than the ruin of the proposer:
it is time already if it ever can be that it
should meet with a different fate. I hope my
case is not a common one: I am sure it is mine is
a hard case: a very hard one. I hope it is not a common one
if it be the country is to be pitied state of this
country is truly pitiable

Patience and submission are unavailing:
both have been practised both have been put to the trial in an preeminent degree
My situation is that of an injured man: my
language can be no other. I have nothing to forfeit: I have nothing to risk Favour is out of hopeless
indeed the question to a man who cannot obtain common
justice

My fate will be a warning to men hav lesson
to mankind the country: it will be a horror to well-doers.
It shews the treatment that may be expected
by a man from the author of a plan which
has been approved adopted by Administration, which
has been approved occupied by Parliament

Two ye seasons have now been lost two years
in effect since I was bid, spontaneously and
repeatedly bid to take my arrangements. Fourteen
months have been spent with the Office Keepers
in your Passages and Waiting Rooms My Brother
ruined My fortune wasted - my spirits sunk my health consuming:
these are the fruits of the visit with which you honoured me.
This is my reward for punishment consequences of what I have got by trusting to your word.
