TranscriptJohn Ward has been in our employ
between four and five years &
we have found him an honest and
Straightfoward man; also sober and
industrious & we never heard that he
was otherwise

This is to certify that I have known
John Ward for many years and that he
is a very steady industrious man I think
him well suited for the appointment which
he seeks
