We whose names are hereunto Subscribed do hereby Certify that we
very well know the within named Isaac Waugh and believe him
to be a very honest Industrious Man and were Eye Witnesses
to the damage occasioned and done to him by the late
dreadful Flood and that we have also examined the account
and estimate within written and believe the same to be a true
and moderate Account and estimate of the damages the said
Isaac Waugh hath Sustained and that we have reason to
believe that the said Isaac Waugh by such loss will be
reduced to no small difficulties and distress to support his
Audit and that it would be a real Charity done to give him
relief on account thereof As Witness our hands this
Thirtieth day of December 1771.
