Lloyd, Henry

To Col Bird Secretary
Sir
In consequence of repeated attacks of Illness
Since my arrival in the Colony & the present precarious
state of my health I am very desirous of returning to
England, as shoud it please the Almighty to remove
me, the situation of my Wife and Six Infant Children
would be hopeless away from the Relatives
But having exhausted all my Funds in Building
and useless cultivation I have troubled you requesting you
will Condescend to inform me, if any, and what assistance
the Government will afford toward the passage of
myself and Family
I have the honour to be
Sir
Your Most Obedt. Servt.
Henry Lloyd
