pre 1820 Settler Correspondence before emigration

ALL the 1819 correspondence from CO48/41 through CO48/46 has been transcribed whether or not the writers emigrated to the Cape. Those written by people who did become settlers, as listed in "The Settler Handbook" by M.D. Nash (Chameleon Press 1987), are labelled 1820 Settler and the names of actual settlers in the text appear in red.

My Lord,

Permit me humbly to solicit your Lordship to furnish me with a printed instructions concerning the settlement at the Cape of Good Hope.

I have two children but they are at the Isle of France, therefore I have no incumberance, Your Lordship's adhering to my humble petition will be received with thanks & gratitude by your Lordship's devoted obedient servant
