There was no Manifest statement.
Columns: No., Name of Passenger, Age, Country of Birth, Last Legal Residence, Country Claiming Allegiance and Occupation and Remarks. The columns for Last Legal Residence and Country Claiming Allegiance had no entries, so they have been omitted. Farmers was written at the top of each page in the Occupation and Remarks column, so it was also omitted.

General notes:
Although the Captain stated that there was a death on the voyage, there
is nothing on the manifest to indicate which passenger died. There are 2
marks to the left of passenger #182 Nicolas Kuser/Keiser, one of which
could possibly be a cross sign.
Numbering on the list skipped from 130 to 140, then later from 220 to 212.
The passengers have been renumbered correctly.
The ages of some children were written with fractions of a year. They have
been transcribed as written.
The writer of the list sometimes did not use capital letters at the
beginning of names or locations. These words are transcribed as written.
The letter 'y' is written with an umlaut. This could be just to differentiate
it from a 'g', or it could mean that the actual letter(s) are 'ij', rather
than 'y'.
A few given names are abbreviated by omitting several letters in
the middle of the name, then superscripting the last letter or two. On
the list above, the '^' symbol indicates that the letters following are
superscripted.
Locations:
Bavière - Bavaria
Suisse - Switzerland
Prusse - Prussia
Passenger notes:
4 Weibe? - The last letter of the name is crossed, but the letter is
made more like an 'l'. The name could be Weibet or Weibel.
53 Batz - ???? The first letter of the given name is probably 'E', the second
letter could be 'l' followed by 2 or 3 small letters.
65 Boehle - Ma???? The 3rd and 4th letters could be uncrossed 't's. The
remaining letters are small.
73 Freÿ - The umlaut over the 'y' could indicate that the spelling
is actually Freij, or the umlaut is sometimes used to differentiate
the 'y' from the 'g'
89-92 Gttemohn - This name is transcribed as written on the manifest.
135 Gottney - The age is a fraction, but has been overwritten and can't
be read with certainty.
182-188 K??ser - name could be Keiser, Kuser or Küser
190 Schmitt - given name looks like Jeanvie or Jeanrie.
220 Braun - O??rin Given name looks like Offrin.
245-252 Ramacher / Ramacker - The name is spelled both ways within what
appears to be one family.
265 Di?ken - could be Dicken or Dieken
272 Creabi??e - the 2 letters are intermediate in height, and although
they are not crossed, they look more like 't' than 'l'. The name
could be Creabille or Creabitte
