To Ld
I don't know whether I have made a mistake
I do myself the honour to present to your
Lordship a short slight sketch of a plan I have been
at work upon for a Penitentiary House at the desire of the Irish Government.
I do not know whether I made a mistake in
addressing it to Mr Pitt in the first instance or
preprint relative to the request of which the advantages derivable from that
have enabled one to make. Its connection with
I addressed it to him
in the first instance
because
the subject of finance seemed to refer it previously
to his particular department: and an account in consideration of the degree
whatever it may be it confidence which
it may be thought to require it was more natural
to address it to a Minister It seemed to appertain
in the first instance to the Department of finance
in whose recollection it was possible I might have
presumed than to one with respect to whom
it had not been my fortune to possess that advantage
It the proposal should have appeared worth notice
he will doubtless it will of course be communicated it to your Lordship,
if it has not been already.
