My dear GOULBURN,
I have received the enclosed letter with a desire that I will forward it to you. Will you enable me to give an answer.
Your truly

Dear Sir Charles GRENVILLE,
You will do me a great favour if you will recommend the enclosed list to Mr. GOULDBURN’s attention. I am particularly interested for the OWEN Family who are at the head of it, they are very responsible people, I have known them many years. Business has not been so prosperous of late and it is the wish of the two brothers to go to the new settlement by the first vessel that Government sends out, which they understand is expected to take place in the month of November. Seven families in the list are acquaintances of Mr. OWEN’s, particularly Mr. PULLEN and I am desired to say that they are all prepared to pay the deposit money. I beg a thousand pardons for giving you so much trouble and hope you will lose no time in writing to Mr. GOULDBURN as numbers are applying daily. If Lady Charlotte is at Cirencester pray remember me respectfully to her.
Dear Sir Charles, you much oblige
A. MOSS

* Transcriber’s note: Henry CHURCH is listed as a settler in M.D.Nash, but according to a descendant, the settler Henry CHURCH did not arrive in South Africa. In his place was James Luke CHURCH and his wife, Elizabeth GREENACRE, who wrote a memorial to prove that it was indeed him that arrived in the Thomas OWEN party
