Northampton Novr 24:1813
Sir
	I hope you will pardon a Strangers taking this liberty with you, but as a Member of the Church Missionary Society for Africa & the East I have presumed you would not be displeased at my requesting the favour of an interview either at Leicester or Rothley. I being very desirous of knowing more of the worthy object of your Society relative to its attempt to form settlements at New Zealand, I have long had an inclination to emigrate, but had given it up, until a short time since when in Bucks I observed in the Ipswich Journal amongst other things that “The Society is also [f] attempting a Settlement at New Zealand & Mr Thomas Kendall with his wife & six children have left their Native Country to proceed on their voyage thither.” This has revived the fond hope that what I have in contemplation to offer on that subject may be well received. And if you will condescend to oblige me with a line directed to Kibworth near Market Harboro: I shall have great pleasure in attending to it waiting your command
I am Sir
Your most respectful
most Obedt Humble Servant
Thos Blick
