Wapping 22nd Augt 1819
Sir
Permit me to take the liberty
of requesting the favor of being informed
of the particulars to be observed by
Persons emigrating to the Cape of Good Hope
Allow me to observe I am a Member of
the College of Surgeons in London and have other
necessary qualifications to practice here or
abroad as a Medical Man _ I should suppose that
the Ships destined for the Cape will each
have a surgeon and also the Emigrants
themselves will be allowed Medical attendance
for the first year or two _
Should I be so fortunate as to be
successful in an application for such
a Situation I can give undeniable references
as to my qualifications _
I have a Wife and two very young
Children _

I have the honor to remain
Sir your obligd & obedt Servt
Robert Holditch
