My Lord //
I hope you will not deem this insulting when //
you read the Sequal _ since I 7+ my family was rec\d/ //
By your Kindnes+s to Emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope //
the following Circumstance has occurred in my family //
a Youth betwixt 16 7+ 19 of fellow Twin to Joshua who is //
going _ who was then an Apprentice in this Town – //
Expecting his Master to take him entirely to //
Himself But has now Changed His mind he comes //
on Wages Dec\r/ 2\d/. But his Master has now given //
him up _ I wish My Lord he may accompanay me _ //
I hope My Lord you will feel no impediment //
in this Case to let him go _ I don’t want to //
Leave him an Orphan and unprotected _ I have //
9 of family he will make 10 _ if permitted to go //
I am //
My Lord your Most //
