The offices occupy the ground and first floor, the library and gallery of paintings the second. The great stair-case is remarkable for its elegance and lightness; it has been compared to that at Somerset house.
North who, amongst other vagaries not approved of by his bishop, had a habit of prowling about the prison at unofficial hours was attracted by a dispute at the door of the dormitory. "What's the matter here?" he asked. "A prisoner refractory, your reverence," said the watchman. "Wants to come out." "Mr. North!

I am writing this because I couldn't see you this afternoon; hope you are all right. Yours,
