My Lord,
I beg leave to solicit your //
Lordship will be pleased to inform //
me whether I may be allowed a //
Grant of Land at the Cape of Good //
Hope or in Canada with a free pas+sage //

encouragement to officers to become //
Settlers in either of those places, //

something of that nature is in //
agitation respecting the Cape. //
I have the honor to be //
your Lordships //
Most Obedient Humble Ser\t/ //
