I transcribed this Declaration of Intention from poor quality microfilm.  The copies were very light in 
places and difficult to read.  I have copied the record just as it was written, including punctuation, spelling and 
capitalization. If you know of any corrections that need to be made, please contact me.

all allegiance and fidelity to every foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereign whatever, and particularly to
