Flanegan, Timothy

To His Excellency The Right Honble
General Lord Charles Henry Somerset,
Governor and Commander in Chief of the Colony
of the Colony of the Cape of Good Hope &c. &c. &c.
The humble Memorial of Timothy
Flanegan most respectfully,
Sheweth,
That your Excellencys Memorialist being located
a distance of forty Miles from a Market
is unable to transport produce tither
through want of a Vehicle for the purpose,
and which he is unable to obtain from
having exhausted his means in the purchase
of Cattle, and from, hitherto, unsuccessful
and laboriuos exertions in Agriculture.
That your Excellencys Memorialist
is induced, therefore, most humbly and
respectfully to pray that your Excellency
will be pleased to grant him a Loan of
five Hundred Rix dollars, which sum
would enable your Memorialist to
convey the produce of his Farm to a

Market, from whence he would be
enabled to return with those comforts
and necessaries of which himself and
family are utterly destitute.
That your Excellencys Memorialist
having a considerable herd of Cattle
would be enabled, should your Excellency
be pleased to accede to his request, to get
adequate security for the repayment.
And your Excellencys Memorialist
as in duty bound will ever pray
Grahams Town
26 Novr 1824
