The proposal of Henry ATKINSON of Roserea in the County of Tipperary, Ireland
Herewith
That Proposalist will take out at least [ten?] settlers whom he will locate upon the portion of ground which His Majesty’s Government are pleased to grant to Settlers agreeably to a letter rec’d last Spring from His Lordship’s Office.
That he is ready to forward to H.L.SHIP the security necessary for the due fulfilment of the Contract in this case as soon as his proposal is approved of.
That he herewith incloses a character of the Settlers whom he has engaged to take out to His M. Colony at the Cape of Good Hope.
That he can, if he will be sanctioned by H.M. Government to Emigrate to the Cape, take more Settlers than ten with him.
That he is not acquainted with the forms of the Proposals which H.L. SHIP requires on this occasion and therefore he begs that if proposal be not to the point that H.L. SHIP will not reject him and his Settlers on that accord, as he is ready to comply with any proposal which may be pointed out to him.
That he and these Settlers are waiting these nine months past for the Sanction of H. M. Government to emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope and that if they will not be permitted to go out that they will be much injured in their circumstance.
