My friends have succeeded in obtaining a passage to England on my behalf. I have succeeded in obtaining a passage to England in a Steamer which will probably sail in about a week.
My reasons for wishing to go are: that to remain in the Colony I am incurring expenses which I have no means of defraying; that clerical labor not being in demand, I have been unable to obtain employment; and I wish to return to Europe where my friends are, and where I will be placed in a position to earn my livelihood.
As I am entirely without means to liquidate my liabilities before leaving, I would humbly solicit that His Excellency The Governor will be pleased to grant me an amount to enable me to carry out this purpose.
