I have to acknowledge the receipt of the communication your Lordship was pleased to direct.
I now beg leave distinctly to propose myself and 20 other persons to your Lordship’s Consideration as persons desirous to Emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope.
The major part of those persons are young men* of small Capitals and some few are mechanics taken at the expense of those whose means enable them to do so to assist in their respective Trades or businesses and Cultivate the land allotted them.
If your Lordship will be pleased to direct an answer to the following questions to be sent, it will be highly esteemed by
My Lord
