Sir:

I am much concerned that it is
not in my Power to attend at the Meeting
of the Prison Committee in the Wednesday next
Not because I am so tain as to Fatter myself
that ye Committee would desire any Benefit
from my fee the Assistance but because I should
have had an Opportunity of declaring my Sent
:ments on a Point on two, of any considerable
Importance

That the Prisoners ought as much
as possible to to employed in their respective Trady
is not only prudent, to petitie, but absolutely required
by ye Law:

That Prisoners so employed have Need
of a proper Inspector is equally certain:

That Ber up is a fit Person to inspect
the Labour of ye Smith's Shop cannot be denied
