Sir,
By the enclosed names you will perceive there are some alterations from the last list - the dread of a sea voyage and the apprehension of being devoured by wild beasts, on the Cape of Good Hope, has alarmed some of the Females, & prevailed on me to erase their names & substitute others - I have followed your directions as nearly as possible – I hope they will prove satisfactory. My Parishioners will be very impatient to hear from you again.
I am, Sir, Your humble servant
Henry GODDARD

Sir,
I have enclosed the three lists agreeably to your request. The deposit will certainly be ready in a few days, but before I remit it to the Commissariat, my Parishioners request that you will have the goodness to inform me from what place they are to sail, by what description of vessel, & at what time. When I have been favoured with these answers I will remit immediately the sum of 132-10-0 which is the sum required immediately by Mr. HILL.
I am Sir,
Your humble servant

Sir,
I have remitted to Mr HILL agreeably to your request, one hundred and thirty two Pounds and ten shillings, which he has acknowledged. Edward FORD The Settler, and my Parishioners who are going to the Cape of Good Hope under him, are extremely anxious to know when they are to embark- when [hole in paper] the cheque to Mr. HILL [obliterated] their [obliterated] I made the same enquiry of him and he refer’d me to you. You will, therefore, excuse my asking the same question again, and I hope will give me an opportunity of easing their minds on that point. I am Sir
Your humble Servant
Henry GODDARD, Vicar
