To the Secretary of State,

                                    Sir, I have a great wish to leave this country and take my wife and child to emigrate them to the colony at the Cape of good Hope according to the proposals of Government. So soon as I receive their answer I will punctually attend to it as I have had several applications from several people that wish to go to the same place.

Waiting your ans’r I am Sir
