Dear Directors of the New Zealand Company
Hi I’m Ben and I want to go to New Edinburgh because I want a new life.
I am a hardworking and skilled agricultural mechanic and I’m 25 years old. I’ve got all the tools I need for my job, plus enough money to buy tools in New Edinburgh if I need to. I also worked on farm as a labourer, so if I can’t get a job as a agricultural mechanic I can work on farms there.
I have a testimonial from my Employer Tony McDonald and my Doctor Craig Wilson.
I have enough money for my passage and to support myself until I get a job. I have had all my vaccinations, and have never had any mental problems.
I have never been in trouble with the law.
I will bring my food, bedding and more necessary equipment to go on the ship. I can make my own way to the port as I live near the port. I also have extra food rations which I can bring with me.
Dear Sir, I am writing to you to apply for assisted passage aboard the Philip Lang, departing for New Zealand on the 4th September. By way of introduction, my name is Nathan Charles Beesley and by trade I am an Agricultural Mechanic and have been so for some 10 years since completing my apprenticeship with Mr Edmund Lonsdale of Poplars Farm. I have recently married Miss Elsie Partradge and we wish to start our married lives together and hopefully raise a family in New Zealand. In order to prove my suitability, I have enclosed testimonials from:
1. Mr Edmund Lonsdale, as to my qualifications and that I am a dependable and hard working.
2. Rev. Joseph Smith who will vouch for my moral character. 3. Dr. Arthur Bassett, who will confirm that I am of sound mind and body and have been vaccinated against smallpox.
My name is Sean McCaw; I would like to get a passage to New Zealand for me, my wife, Elizabeth McCaw nee Cameron, my two children, Henry, who is 12 and Emily who is 11. I am 34 and Elizabeth is 32. We have looking for a job ever since the building company I used to work at closed down due to the rising costs of materials we used. I am very skilled at building, calculating and I am reasonably strong. My old boss said I was very good at my job and was one of his best workers. As proof, he has stamped the top of this letter with his stamp. My family and I have all been immunized against smallpox. I have all the tools that I need for building. We are able to supply all our clothing, bedding, extra food and other stuff that you require us to bring. We are able to make our way down to the docks at Thames seeing that we live reasonably close. I hope you read this carefully and decide to include me.

Please let me board one of your ships to the New Zealand colony. Here in England it is very, very, very hard to get a job. My husband, John, is a skilled locksmith and very good at working with metal, but work is so hard to find. I work as a maid and I am a hard worker. My husband and I and our two children would work hard to make a success of our life in New Zealand and make our contribution to the great British Empire.
Hello my name is Natasha Mcnab I am a young scottish girl at the age of 19. I have left home and I would like to come over to New Zealand to start a bakery in Dunedin which would be named after my home town. My old job was in a bakery making bread and fancy cakes. My career as a assistant baker came to a sudden halt when the bakery burnt down. I was left with no money although I was already earing barely enough to feed me and light my house (candles are very pricy these days). I am fit and strong with good health. My old boss said that I was one of the most hard working workers and that he was very impressed with my calclating skills. I have had a injection for small pox so I will not be carrying any dieases onto the ship. I will take all my own belongings with me onto the ship.I hope you choose to let me come onto the ship to start a new life in New Zealand.
