Excerpt from A Private Letter to the Individual Members of Congress: On the Subject of the Public Buildings of the United States at Washington I have therefore ventured to step so far out of the usual course, as to address to you this letter, in which, - offering to you my respect individually as a member of the National Legislature - I may, in a style and to an extent of which an official communication would not admit, enter into more minute explanations, and lay before you, not only the facts relative to the public buildings, but my reasonings and opinions upon them. It is not necessary to be very intimately acquainted with the means of erecting large public buildings, to have observed that many difficulties must here necessarily impede their progress, some of which arise from the manner in which the appropriations have been made, the rest, from the present state of this city. The first and greatest of these has been the uncertainty of the continuance of the work beyond the year, for which an appropriation is actually made, - the effects of the former management of the public works, and the local circumstances of the city and its neighborhood cause the remainder. The funds originally assigned for the erection of the public buildings were to arise from the sale of the public property in the city.
