Mr. Bowman, that he is willing and desires the services of the aforesaid George 
for the unexpired term of his indentureship, therefore we hereby certify that 
we are well acquainted with Mr. Bowman above named and know him to be a moral, 
upright man, a good citizen and one of the best farmers in Columbiana County.
