Schooner Adelia Chase sailing from Brava C.V.S.(Cape Verde Islands) Aprel 6, 1908

I, Alfred Neves, of the Sch. Adelia Chase, from Brava, do solumnly, sincerely, and truly swear that I have caused the surgeon of said vessel sailing therewith, or the surgeon employed by the owners therof, to make a physical and oral examination of each and all of the aliens named in the foregoing Lists or Manifest Sheets, 3, in number, and that from the report of said surgeon and from my own investigation, I believe that no one of said aliens is an idiot, or imbecile, or a feeble-minded person, or insane person, or a pauper, or is likely to become a public charge, or is afflicted with tuberculosis or with a loathsome or dangerous contagious disease, or is a person who has been convicted of, or who admits having committed a felony or other crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpitude, or is a polygamist or one admitting belief in the practice of polygamy, or an anarchist, or under promise or agreement, express or implied, to perform labor in the United States, or a prostitute, or a woman or girl coming to the United States for the purpose of prostitution, or for any other immoral purpose, and that also, according to the best of my knowledge and belief the information in said Lists or Manifests concerning each of said aliens named therein is correct and true in every respect.

Sworn to before me this 11 day of May 1907 at New Bedford, Mass.

Transcriber's Notes:

* Indicates additional information in a footnote.

? Indicates a letter that could not be read with certainty.

  Steerage passengers who had three word names were listed as written with
  second and third names as Family Name. I think this is incorrect. The crew
  had third name as Family Name; first two names as Given Name.

  In the column for Race for Steerage A passengers Portuguese was overwritten
  with African; steerage B list were all Portuguese; Crew were all African

  Geographic names were misspelled: Oncet is Onset, Caver is Carver, S.Thiago
  is Sao Tiago, S. Henson is South Hanson, Mashfield is Marshfield on recent
  maps; I could not find anything like Milbarow
