Brig Florence

I, John M E Kerman, Master of the Bg "Florence", do solemnly, sincerely, and truly swear that the following List or Manifest, subscribed by me, and now delivered by me to the Collector of the Customs of the Collection District of New York, is a full and perfect List of all the Passengers taken on board the said Brig at St. Kitts, from which Port the said Brig has now arrived; and that on said List is truly designated the age, the sex, and the occupation of each of said passengers, the part of the vessel occupied by each during the passage, the country to which each belongs, and also the country of which it is intended by each to become an inhabitant; and that said List or Manifest truly sets forth the number of said Passengers who have died on said Voyage and the names and ages of those who died.
So help me God. (Signature) J M E Kerman

Sworn to this 18th May 1868,
Before me. (Signature) ? ???????, D.C..

Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that cannot be transcribed 
  definitely.

  The designation "Br Bg Florence" in the Captain's sworn statement at the 
  beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Brig Florence is of
  British ownership or registry.
