made up their minds to the parting with it — as they have
already retained it so much longer than they could have
expected, while I have been kept out of my expected Situation
so much longer than I had reason to apprehend — as, under
such circumstances, the representation of the Persons in question
could not suffer the smallest prejudice, from a Transfer
made and declared to be made for no other than such a
cause, the Idea seemed to me to be free from objection on
that Score. A Step would thus be taken, and might be
taken immediately, (for no more than three Months
warning is requisite) which would evidently & declaredly
be a Step, and that a decisive one, towards the Establishment
of the Penitentiary Systems; the opportunity I should have
of becoming acquainted with the Characters I should have
to deal with would be accelerated; and the Transition would
thus be smoother in many respects, than 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 it was not altogether a discouraging one.
As to the Annual Allowance per head — since the
approbation given to my demand of £12 which was in
July 1793) the allowance to the present Contracts 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 that allowance, the
same Indemnification would not (I suppose) be thought
unreasonable in my case.
Question 3d. Do you think you should now be able, to exhibit
Vouchers for, or Distinct Statements of, the £9000 you speak of?
Answer. I have taken care to preserve Vouchers for the Money
expended in the Materials for the Building itself, to an amount more than equal to what I have received as above: and for the
