Here's how you would do it with the web3 api.

const Utils = require('web3-utils');
let txTransfer = {};
txTransfer.from = from.address;
txTransfer.to = to.address;
txTransfer.gas = GasLimit;
txTransfer.value = amount;
txTransfer.data = Utils.toHex('free text data');
web3.eth.sendTransaction(txTransfer);
