To Parnell
and then you will be sure of them. To speak honestly,
as the case matter stood at first the gentleman had
something of <add>reason</add> right on his side: it was natural to judge from the
engraved plan. & from that I suppose he judged.
Gentlemen of great
business and in
high stations as
I suppose he is,
can't look narrowly
into lengths: the first
glance was of course
upon the engraved
plan, & that I
suppose was the
last.
In the engraved plan there was nNo wall there round the
building: nor any base to the windows. Set it down
in the street as it stands without walls or base
to it with the prisoners all round and the Keepers
on the inside, to be sure the Prisoners in the lower storey would not
stay long in it: long: the Keepers might call after cry stop thief
them and that's all they could do. but that they would not care for What is
worse here is a second edition of my prison, and
no bars to the windows yet: I could not afford neither windows <add>base</add>
I had neither time nor money to put any for it. However there are
Walls in the third edition of it: with a few other things besides: and as to bars,
the gentleman who I dare say probably can afford it, may
put as many have as many put as he pleases and then they may let them get
out if they can. Whoever he is, I cant say but I should like to have to
I should like to have him there, it would be a pleasure to me to receive a word from him in that he might see
a fact of whether it was so easy. Let him make me a come
of experiment with a release of action & grant of an annuity to me
in his hand, for so long as he shall stay with be my visitor
me, stay my life against for his he does not get out
in a hurry so long as I have, though Methusalar to be
a child children to us. I fancy he will if he fairly in he would find it not much
the easier to a man to get out as he may think for long never out of the
Keepers cage.
This is all the
revenge I ask to
take of him for filling
me that I dont cant know
how to make a cage
that will keep a
band in
