Should any further information be requisite or any misapprehensions respecting your instructions I shall feel obliged by an intimation thereof & the needful shall, in such case, be supplied with the least possible delay. I have the honor to be Sir

My Lord,
As a fortnight as now ellapsed since I returned the printed Lists in the order according to your directions and the candidates have also engaged with me to emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope having disposed with their property are fearfull least after all they should be rejected, under such circumstances I make bold to address your Lordship hoping at the same time you will not take it as an intrussion addressing your Lordship again upon the subject. An answer to this affect as soon as you can make it conveniant with every other information you see useful will much oblige
Your most obdt humble sevt

Sir,
Through some error on the part of Messrs ESDALE & Co, to whom our money was remitted upwards of a month ago and not receiving any instructions how to proceed and hearing of several vessels sailing from the Port of London whither we are arrived with our luggage, should esteem it a favour if you would have the goodness to order the arrangements for our embarkation in this River, our money being nearly expended in consequence of the depression of Trade and the expences of our journey to Town we sincerely hope you will grant us this favour as we understand a line from you to the Navy Office will be sufficient
Your obed't sevt
