Charles GRANT was the Secretary of State for Ireland

Dublin Castle
Aug 4th 1819
My dear GOULBURN,
I beg to present to your W. PARKER, an Irish
gentleman, who is about to proceed with colonists &c
to the Cape. Have the goodness to assist him in his
views. I am much mistaken if he does not make a very
successful conductor of the new settlers. It is his
object to procure the land most advantageously
situated for the purposes of a new establishment. In
recommending him and his designs to you & thro’ you to
Lord BATHURST I can assure you I proceed not only on
private but also on public grounds.
Believe me
Yours very truly
C. GRANT

[in clerk’s hand: Appointment for Friday]

Dublin
Aug 25 1819
Dear Sir,
Mr. PARKER my particular friend will have the honor
to hand you this. I make free to introduce him to yr.
notice. Officially he will entreat an early
communication with you connected with the views of
Government towards establishing a settlement on the
S.East coast of South Africa. My knowledge of W.
PARKER’s character induces me to recommend him to yr
notice on public as well as private grounds & I trust
to your kindness in finding for him an early interview
with the Earl BATHURST who I have no doubt will
discover in him many of those qualities calculated to
render a settler in South Africa of sterling worth as
well to the Colony as to the Mother Country. You will
pardon the liberty I take in thus obtruding myself on
your notice.
I have the honor to remain with sentiments of respect
Yr very obed’t humble sev’t
[illegible signature]
