Sir,

I received your's, but I never heard that M r

Blackburn had published, or even written a Pamphlet

on the Penitentiary Houses — I often talked to him

on the Subject, & wished him to write down his Remarks,

Which he said he would, but when I enquired for

them, he pleaded Want of Leisure.

I shall see his Brother in Law when I return to

Town next Week, who I make no Doubt, will

let me see any Papers, is there are any, he has left

on that Subject, & with his Leave, I will transmit

them to you —

I am, with great Regard,

Your very obed t Serv t.

    know not how he could be better off, but You must not be in a hurry, that is

    the worst in our Country; it will be a twelve Month, or let us say for the

    most 10 months before his affair can be determined on. I must tell

    you that I am not a stranger to his pressing circumstances in other

    respects, He has been very uneasy, I could see, at his having drawn on his

    Father for so much, I would have prevented him, taking away the necessity;

    This however he would not allow. But although my allowance is but security
