Crause, John

Pleasant Place
West Square, Lambeth

My Lord,
I beg leave to solicit your
Lordship will be pleased to inform
me whether I may be allowed a
Grant of Land at the Cape of Good
Hope or in Canada with a free passage
& if Government gives any further
encouragement to officers to become
Settlers in either of those places,
as I perceive by the public prints
something of that nature is in
agitation respecting the Cape.
I have the honor to be
your Lordships
Most Obedient Humble Sert
John Crause
