Those written by people who did become settlers, as listed in "The Settler Handbook" by M.D. Nash (Chameleon Press 1987), are labelled 1820 Settler and the names of actual settlers in the text appear in red.

Honored Sir,

Having seen an account in the paper of the intended emigration to the Cape of Good Hope and being a young man 28 years of age with a wife and three children and out of employ I am desirous of going there with my wife and family. Should a recommendation be required I can have it from persons whom I have served. Should this meet with your aprobation & I might be favord with the particulars you will very much oblige, Sir

Your obed't and humble serv't

Henry JACKSON
