The difficulty of expressing the parts of a
cylindrical building on a flat surface will I
doubt have the plates intelligible to few, notwithstanding
the pains taken with the explanation
of them. If it be designed to take the sense
of the public, I do not see how it can be
fairly taken without a model, which any
man who has an exhibition of any kind at
Dublin, would I suppose be glad to add to it
and rather consent to pay for it, <add>especially if given him by authority</add> than expect to be
paid. Mr Dance the Architect, who gives
the plan the most thorough approbation and with
great candour prefers it to Newgate his own Newgate
for a prison as well as to his own St Lukes
for an Hospital, tells me a model may be
had for about £25
My letters, if burnt paper could be recalled
into existence, would could afford a pretty long list
of and that not an inconsiderable one of questions & of requests

serve for promises for non-performances, & for
perplexities in consequence. not to mention expences or
that can not be charged.
