My Lord,
As here are several persons (among who is myself) who have it in contemplation to emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope. I take the liberty of requesting your Lordship (if it be not inconsistent with your method of doing business) to inform us if any & what assistance will be afforded us in our undertaking, in compliance with which your Lordship will confer an everlasting obligation on
Your Lordship’s most obedient very humble servant
B. TILLY
