Honored Sir,
I humbly beg leave to state that through the medium of an advertisement respecting the new adoption of Government of allowing persons to emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope I most earnestly crave to be allowed should it meet your approbation to accept of me. I am 28 years of age by trade bricklayer. I have a wife and 2 children under 3 years of age. Have lived in the Parish of St. Mary White Chapel 12 years and can have good referance if required.
Your humble servant
Richard WEBB
