My Lord,

Pardon the great liberty I have taken in writing to your Lordship humbly intreating the conditions or instructions to those who wish to become settlers at the Cape of good hope, it being my earnest wish, being of a strong, an active Disposition.

Your Lordship's kind answer (which I am anxious to receive) will if granted confer a lasting obligation on

Your Lordship's obedient humble servant
