Rt Hon'ble Sir,
A most respectable tradesman and his family having been reduced by misfortune to a state bordering on poverty, they are anxious with the little remains of their property to emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope. The means of doing which are rendered comparatively easy by the admirable and most praiseworthy plans which have been adopted by Your Rt Hon'ble self.
The family consist of Husband aged 45, Wife 39, their Son (the writer here) aged 20 & Daughter 16, educated in the established religion and firmly fixed in the principles which animate the soul of every Briton, the love of the King and the most excellent Constitution
Rt Hon'ble Sir
