Pringle, Thomas

Sir /
My Sister in law, Mis+s Janet Brown, having obtained a /
Situation as Governes+s in a family in Cape Town I am commis+sioned by /
her to solicit for her the favour of being permitted to leave my party /
of Settlers now on board the Brilliant Transport at Simon’s Bay and /
to come up here with her luggage as soon as may be convenient. /
As Mis+s Brown is besides of a delicate Constitution 7+ not well fitted /
to endure the hardships of a new Settlement it will particularly oblige /
both her 7+ myself to be allowed this indulgence. /
I have the honour to be with high respect /
Sir /
Your obliged 7+ obedient Servant /
Tho. Pringle /

Cape Town, May 6. 1820. /
