Sir
Having a desire to Emigrate to the Cape of Good Hope &
being unacquainted with the proper mode of obtaining
the requisite information I trust you will excuse the
liberty I am now taking in thus addressing you upon
the subject.
I am a Medical man who has been respectably settled in
Practice but now much reduced from various severe
pecuniary losses and disappointments. Finding it very
difficult & indeed almost impossible (from the want of
friends &c) to recover myself or to procure a living
for my family I am desirous of Emigrating to the Cape,
where I feel confident that I may (with the proper
industry & perseverance) in course of time somewhat
recover myself. It may be necessary to mention that I
have a wife and two young children.
Your early attention to the above will very
particularly oblige, Sir
Your most Obed Humble Servt
J. PAWLE

Sir
As the principal Medical attendant in Mr Thomas
WILLSON's party (that is about to proceed to the Cape
of Good Hope) I have to beg the favor of your
furnishing me with some information as to the extent
of the supply of Medicines & Instruments, which I
understand will be given by Government but more
particularly, as to trusses for Ruptures, it appearing
probable such accidents may not be very infrequent and
therefore that a supply of them will be absolutely
necessary.
The favor of an early reply will very much oblige, Sir
Your most respectful Obed Servt
J. PAWLE

[GOULBURN’s notation:Refer to the Navy board with whom
I believe the necessary discretions rest]
