THOMAS, Henry

171B

November 23rd 1819

Sir,

Understanding persons wishing to leave this Island for a residence at the Cape of Good Hope on paying a certain sum at your office are insured a portion of land on their arrival there &c, would feel particularly obliged by your causing me to receive that information requisite for my embarkation for the same, having been many years an agriculturalist in the Isle of Wight and now unemployed.

I am Sir

Yours must humbly

Henry THOMAS
