Honnerabel my Lord,
And may it please your Lordship to take into consideration for a pore man with a large fameley who hath many times aplyed to your Lordship for emegranting to any of his Magestys Colines and I have received your sercular answers and much aprove of them but being poore and not abel to make the deposit of money required I beg that your Lordship will be plesed to let me go without paying of it as I am in no fear of giting a livelyhood at the Cape of Good Hope as I am a blacksmith by trade and have beene brought up to farming bisiness and have a large famely wiling to work if they had it. I have made aplycation to the parish for to asist me with the money but they have refused so that I relye on your Lordship's goodness to be a poore mans frend and to grant my request.
I beg leave to be your Lordships most obedient humbel servant
Thomas BROWN
