Queens Square Place Westmr Monday 1 April 1811

Sir

In my Letter of the Friday last, March
29, I contracted a sort of engagement to submitt "one expedient
"that had occurred to me for meeting what I understood to be the
"wishes of the Committee, as to the accommodating the original plan
"to what appears at present the most pressing exigency, viz. the
"reception of females."

What follows is the result of my humble endeavours to fulfill
that engagement.

An One circumstance that has been mentioned to me as
presenting a difficulty relative to this any such addition
is the difficulty which it is has been supposed might attend the adjustment
of the terms. "From the labour of the males you
"many would learn (it or has been said to me) your expected a naturally expectation of considerable profit from
that of the females you can have no equal expectation: which taking
300 for the supposed number, what their encrease of terms then will
you have in this latter case will you demand For the way of measure?
for the supposed encrease of numbers?

To any such question I give this short answer. I desire
no encrease of terms.

Given are the number of males originally agreed for specified in the Contract
viz. 1000, I will accommodate under the same roof (presuming
at the same time perfect separation) make accommodationsI give accommodate
for to I will at the same price per head, give accommodation to the 300 females. If at the price, my profit
be made upon the labour of the work done by these females, the such profit rests with
me. If less be the result, any any pro at the same time that
profit is made upon the males, I shall still be able to bear
such loss, and I shall be perfectly am content to bear it. If
I get make no profit upon the males, or if the profit made
upon the males falls short of covering the loss upon the females,
then, and then only it is that I call for my addition at all: nor
in that case do I call for any greater addition than what shall be sufficient to make the whole.
