Stringfellow, Thomas

To His Excellency Sir Rufane Shaw Donkin. G. C. B.
Commander in Chief of His Majestys Forces.
Cape of Good Hope . &c. &c.
The Memorial of Thomas Stringfellow
Humbly Sheweth
That he is a Printer by Profession, the exercise
of which Art is prohibited in the District of
Albany: _ That the Printing Materials purchased
by the Government, at Cape Town, were placed in
the hands of Roberts, Surgeon, by my late employer,
in London. for our mutual benefit: _ That
the subsequent disposal of them, and the suppressing
a liberal Art, has bereft the Memorialist of the
means of subsistence for himself and family. _ _
That while at Cape Town, Mr. Ross, the Printer, humanely
promised to mention the circumstance to your
Excellency, in hopes you would repair the loss, which
I must necessarily sustain, by placing me in the
Establishment there ; or should your Excellency be
pleased to confer any other mark of favour, your
Memorialist will be ever bound to pray. ___
