"Lords of his Majesty's Treasury and Jos: Bentham
"Esq. for building a Penitentiary House &c &c

Article 1st. Already acceded to at the first word,
and for the reasons given by Mr Ford.

Article 2. Mr Bentham would be very
glad to be rid even at some hazard of the
delays and difficulties attending the making of an
exact estimate. He From the such view as he has been able to obtain of the matter, he can not consent willingly to
accept of so little as the £30,000. He would be
satisfied with £31,000 a thousand pound more. The
two first installments would then stand £12,000
and £12,000, instead of £10,000 and £10,000:
the last instalment of £7,000 to be paid payable on the
reception of the Prisoners to remain as it is at
£7000. This £4000 being in satisfaction for the
extra expences relative to the Building
can not in any part of it be postponed to the other period.
