Dr Sir
I arrived in this Colony last December and have failed to make application for land yet expecting to have met with you in this section before now. I have my family all with me and have come to settle for life. I wish to procure land in the lower section of country. I have four sons two married and two single all of age who also wishes to procure land. Be so good as to write me where it is probable I shall get land and how and when.
Yours
Alexander Hodge
