| Transcript | Belfast, July 15, 1775. HENRY McKEDY hath this Day received Advice, that the Ship Prosperity, Captain William McCulloch, who lately sailed from this Port for Philadelphia, arrived there the 7th June after a Passage of seven Weeks, all well. The said Vessel is soon expected back here, and will return shortly afterwards to Philadelphia with Passengers. The Passengers who went in said Vessel last Voyage were so well pleased with the Treatment they received on board, that they desired the following Certificate might be published:- Though we the undernamed are sensible that Captain William McCulloch's Character needs no Support from us, his humane Treatment of his Passengers being already well known; yet we think ourselves bound, in Gratitude, thus publickly to return him our most hearty Thanks for his unwearied Endeavours to contribute to our Happiness during our late Voyage from Belfast to Philadelphia, and are obliged to declare, that his distributing Plenty of wholesome Provisions, relieving the Necessitous, publickly exposing and punishing the Lewd and Vicious, and countenancing the Well-behaved, deserves Imitation and Applause. Given under our Hands at Newcastle, this 7th Day of June, 1775. James Conchy, John Hunter, Rev. James Martin, Samuel McFaddin, John Wright, Samuel Brown, Henry Wright, John Neilson, David Wright, John Young, James Wright, Philip Moynagh, Robert Ferguson, John Huston, John McCulloch, Robert Warnock, George Taylor, Alexander Tenant [Tennant?], Simon Boyd, Leslie Bryson, John Parkhill, William McQuoid.
