FRAGMENT XXXV. 



CONCERNING 



HOUSES OF INDUSTRY. 



Very soon after the Sherringham Report had been written, in 



which some hints respecting the treatment of the Poor \\< re 

 introduced, my attention was again called to the subject b\ an 

 application from the Parish of * * in Kenl, to give a 



design for a new Workhouse, when the following K port 

 was addressed to my Son, at that time the officiating Minisi *r 



there : 



To the Rev. Edward 'Rejiton, at * * in Kent 



MY DEAR EDWARD, 



Your letter communicating the wishes of your Parishioners 

 that I should give my opinion respecting a plan and situa 



tion for a New Workhouse, or House of Industry, with all 

 proper attention to the Comforts of the Poor, has excited my 



heartfelt satisfaction ; and as this may be amongst the last 



efforts of my professional duties, I feel the subject peculiarly 



interesting to me
