My lord,

            Having seen an advertisement that your Lordship wants to engage with some familys to go as settlers to the Cape of Good Hope.  I have a wife & two children my present situation not answering my expectation has no objections to go to the Cape, having been brought up to the locksmith, bell hanging and worked in every branch in the brass line.

The age of my family is

my age 32

wife age 31

first child 7

2nd child 4 years

If this meets with your Lordship's approbation please to send an answer with the engagements as soon as convenient having my business and some property to dispose off.

I am your lord's most humble servant

Wm.  EDMONDS
