Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records of the Cape Colony, Vol. 14: From June 1821 to August 1822 To His Excellency Sir R. S. Donkin, K. C. B., Acting Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, &c., &c., &c. The Memorial of Thomas Pringle Humbly Sheweth That Memorialist, being the head of a Party of Settlers located on the Baviaan´s River, is induced by the earnest solicitations of his party as well as by his own sense of its expediency to apply to your Excellency for an enlargement of his original location, upon the following grounds, viz.: A twelvemonth´s experience has convinced Memorialist and his party that the location is not adapted for the cultivation of grain to any profitable extent, owing to the difficulty of the roads, and the distance from Market, and above all the slackness and uncertainty of the water. They are satisfied however that the place is favorable for Cattle, and are willing to direct their chief attention to that resource, cultivating at the same time as much land as can be irrigated and improving their farms to the uttermost; but as they are situated at the upper extremity of a narrow glen, bounded on three sides by barren and precipitous mountains, they humbly submit to your Excellency that an enlargement of their location is necessary to afford a competent subsistence for eight families (besides their English Servants and Hottentot Herdsmen), since they must of necessity derive their profits almost exclusively from pasturage. With this view it may perhaps not be improper to explain to your Excellency the situation of the several families which compose the Party.
