Sir,

Will esteem it a particular favour if you would send me the particulars relative to the Cape of Good Hope. I have a desire to go out as a settler provided it meets Government approbation. I am a farmer by profession. I shall feel greatly obliged if you could put me in the way how to proceed in the business. I have ten able men ready to go out with me, particulars of which are at foot. Your early attention to this will much oblige Sir

Your compliance to the above will oblige
