Sir,
I beg leave to state to you in reply to your letter
to Samuel JAMES of Westbury Wilts of the 28th inst
that the party he is desirous of taking to the Cape of
Good Hope is already accepted of but that Saml WATSON
who first undertook the care thereof & who applied for
that purpose has declined going & JAMES wishes to
succeed him, therefore his application was merely to
take the command of a Party already accepted instead
of WATSON & to make good any other Deficiency to
complete the number.
Your early answer whether his request can be complied
with will oblige
Sir your most obt svt
?. BROWN, Clerk to the Mayor
