I send you by Mr Dundas's
desire the paper which accompanies theseis — In
perusing it which I have done very cursorily

the Purpose of building a Penitentiary House you

never entered into my head — But Sir the
other misconception is a little more serious and wch
a very little of that Candour on your part which

any thing to this effect or even meant to
insinuate that Government would prefer a worse
