Letter of Recommendation:

These lines certify that the bearer, Jas. Emslie, has served me nineteen
 months preceeding this date, as a baker, during which time he has 
conducted himself decently and honestly, and leaves me at his own wish 
to embark for America.  He may be admitted into any Christian family 
with propriety. 
Witness my hand this 21st day of April, eighteen hundred and thirty-four 
years.  Will Webster

In corroboration with the above, we as elders in the parish of Old 
Macher and County of Aberdeen, recommend the above Jas. Emslie as a
sober and active young man, and no objection is known why he may not be 
admitted into any congregation or society where Providence may order his 
lot.
