My Lord,
Having some thought of emigrating to the Cape with
Mrs. PHILPS and a young family of five children and
being advised to write to you as Sec’y for the
Colonial Department, I have therefore taken the
liberty of addressing your Lordship upon the subject.
The necessary particulars relative to a settlement at
the Cape I have not seen, excepting a mere outline in
a provincial paper, and consequently I am unable to
form any just or reasonable opinion as to the
advantages likely to accrue from an enterprize of the
kind. The colony is at present I presume in its infant
state with regard to English settlers - & how far
appointmts in respect to chaplians of the Established
Church may be required, I am also at a loss to
conjecture. Will your Lordship have the goodness to
inform me whether there are any appointmts of the kind
and also whether there are any vacant chaplaincies?
What salary if any is allotted by Government? Whether
there are any such appointmts existing; and the
channel thro’ wch an application is to be made?
Probably the appointment of persons duly qualified &
approved of as chaplains they rest solely with
yourself, if so, in that case, I would prevail upon
some of my friends to recommend me to your Lordship’s
notice.
My present salary as stipendiary curate amounts to
only £70 per annum, far too little to support myself &
family with that becoming decency wch such a
profession requires in England. Should your Lordship
deign to favor me with a reply to the above queries I
should consider myself highly flattered by such a mark
of condescension.
I have the honor to be my Lord
Your Lordship’s most obed’t humble serv’t
Rev’d Rob’t G. PHILPS
