if Persons as well as local Situation were at the same Time to
be comprehended in the Change. This Idea I have accordingly
ventured to suggest, and though it has not yet been complied
with, the Reception given to it was not altogether a discouraging
one.
As to the Annual Allowance per Head, since the Approbation
give to my demand of £12,(which was in July 1793)
the Allowance to the present Contractors on the Hulk Plan has
throughout been raised a Penny a Day per Head, amounting
by the year to £1..10s..5d; the Rise in the Price of Provisions
having been the evident ground of the Allowance, the same
Indemnification would not, I suppose, be thought unreasonable
in my Case.
