of the Prisoners, who are at present employed
some in finishing the Castle,
others in mending the Turnpike road
they earn about one shilling per diem
each, at present there are fifty Prisoners
when Harris first came to the Castle
they amounted to above seventy, they
have decreased ever since & he thinks will
still continue so I think you would
be so much pleased if you were to come
to Axon & see the Castle, I fear it will
not be in my power to give you an
adequate idea of it on paper, however
if you will be so obliging as to send me
your book I will shew it to Harris
& note particularly his observations, if
you have any particular queries you
would wish resolved, I beg you will
not hesitate writing, as you may depend
on my answering them immediately—
Sir George Paul lives at Hill House
Glostershire— I am Dear Sir
Yr sincere well Wishes
