Sir

Having applied at the Secretary of State’s office for information
respecting the emigration of persons from England to the Cape of Good
Hope, and being referred to you, I have taken the liberty to address you
on the subject.

I am a young man, and have hitherto been employed in the printing
business as compositor, but, from the later introduction of the steam
engines and stereotype, the employment has so much decreased as not at
present to furnish sufficient for much more than half of the persons now
in the profession; under these circumstances, I have lately been
endeavouring to find some way of ensuring a more certain livelihood, and
seeing an account of the offer of Government to enable persons to settle
at the Cape of Good Hope, I should be glad to be informed of the
particulars and terms, that I might, if the plan should suit me, embrace
it in order to provide for the future.

An answer directed as above will confer a particular obligation on
Sir
Your humble servant

John EGLINGTON
