In the Letter, Fry writes of the awful conditions that would be imposed on the New Model Prison at Petonville, requesting there be a way for light to enter the cell, and a way to enable the prisoners to interact occasionally. This letter reveals Mrs. Fry's character when she has obtained a greater amount of influence, continuing her work but on a larger scale.

Gurney, Joseph John. Notes on a Visit Made to Some of the Prisons in Scotland and the North of England, in Company with Elizabeth Fry: with Some General Observations on the Subject of Prison Discipline. 2nd ed., London, 1819. These notes written of the prisons are extremely repetitious, but give a detailed understanding of what conditions of prisons were like at the time. Many smaller prisons resemble the same pattern: a cell for debtors and a cell for everyone else. Only in larger prisons are there cells specifically for men and women, it was not required. Many a time there was little to no protection against the cold and diseases.
Mollet, John Stephen. “From Amsterdam Inviting Elizabeth to Carry out Similar Work in the Netherlands.” Received by Elizabeth Gurney Fry, Norfolk Record Office, 6 July 1838, Norfolk. This letter to Elizabeth Fry is from the Foreign Secretary to the Netherland Society, informing her that many on mainland Europe see the disparity of the state of prisons, and desire reform. He would like Elizabeth Fry to do to the Netherlands as she had done for Britain. This letter proves her influence far exceeded that of British borders, but was an awakening tide of influence that desired the end of old and outdated prison
