Sir
Recent considerations and calculations have enabled
me to put my proposal of Jun: 23d1791 relative to the
Penitentiary system into a shape which removes altogether
what I have all along understood to be the only objection
to which that system has been looked upon as exposed.
I am now ready to execute the plan stated in that
proposal at an expence less by 25 per Cent a head than
that of the Hulk system: and that free of taking on myself all expence
of building, and that without any advance to be made by
Government for that purpose. £184 a man was to have
been the least amount of that expence, as I now find by
the Report made to the House of Commons in 1784. Sir
