Sir,
I take the opportunity of writing to you to know if you would grant me and my son permission to go to Cape Town for to settle there as artist jewellers as we have no employment here. If you were to grant us permission to settle there Sir I have a friend that would advance the money for us to go immediately
I am Sir your most obedient and humble servant
William BROOKS
