Sir,
Having read in the publick papers that an address was agreed in the Honourable House of Commons on Monday last to allow people to emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope, I beg leave to offer myself to your notice. I have a wife and two children, by trade a military cap & accoutrement maker. Have also worked at the willow weaving but not being able to get employ at either business for some time back is the reason I take the liberty thus to intrude on your kindness. Should a reference as to character be necessary I beg leave to refer to Messrs HAWKES, MOSELY & Co, 22 Piccadilly, Messrs. J. TEBBUT & J. PENN, Princes St Soho, Mr. ANDREWS 18 Pall Mall and Messrs. DAWSON & RICE, 160 Oxford St.
I am Sir, with deference
Your humble servant
Thomas Evans MILLARD
