Know all whom it may concern, that we, Norton I., Emperor, desire and do hereby command, having possession of lands on this continent both in North and South America, belonging to and owned by Joshua Norton of the Cape of Good Hope, or Norton I., Emperor, that they appropriate suitable amounts of money for relief of poor persons in Europe desiring to emigrate to this continent – more especially paying attention to the present reported distress in England and France; thereby relieving parties there to our own benefit.
