FOWLER, William (2)
July 31st 1819
Honoured Sir,
Having heard that his Majesty's Government intended to send settlers to the Cape of Good Hope I called this morning at your office to know the particulars and I was informed that I must write to specify my Age, what Family I have & my name. I am 23 years of age, am a single man & my name is Wm. FOWLER having been lately discharged from the Weighing in the Customs through less men being wanted. I should be glad to embrace the opportunity if your Honour should think fit. I understand 5 Pounds must be left in London by every person going & to be returned again at the Cape in which I can comply
I am your Honour's obedient humble servant
Wm FOWLER
