Lawford to Colonial Office

I am desirous of going to Vancouvers Island. I am an active man of
50 married & have nine children 1 Son & 4 daughters are above 16 years
old. We are all well suited to make good settlers. I have always been
a promoter of education & improvements amongst the labouring classes, am
thorough Master 
of the most improved modern agriculture, erection of
Farm buildings, Road making Bridge building &c. Will you be so very
kind as to inform me whether Government will afford any facilities to
persons to enable them to reach the island. I have no doubt that enough
could be found here to passenger a Ship from 
Quebec.
