And I do like wise swear that all matters whatsoever in the said Report or Manifest, are to the best of my knowledge and belief, just and true. So Help Me God.

Transcriber's Notes:
* Printed in upper right hand corner of manifest:  Printed for J. H. Barnes, 
  Ships and Insurance Broker, opposite the Custom House, Philadelphia - by 
  Russell & Martiens
* Philadelphia is abbreviated Philad, with superscript a.
* Accent over the c, which could be the fancy form of an ampersand.  If this 
  c is the literal translation of the Spanish y (and), then the surname was 
  probably Agusachi y Insanta.
