Honorable Sir,
As I have a wish to proceed to the new colony Cape of Good Hope shall feel obliged if you will inform me whether I shall receive any encouragement from Government or if I am entitled to a grant of land. I understand agriculture & stock but my capital does not exceed 100£. If I am to expect the same encouragement as those that are gone I shall fully make up my mind to proceed the first cheap passage I can hire of. An early answer will much oblige Sir
Your most ob't serv't
Thos. RYAN
PS I forgot to mention I have a wife 2 boys & a girl
