Countersigned by Judge Robert Catherwood. Legal document signed by Donald Campbell of Kingston, Jamaica as a witness identifying the vessel "Clarendon." Campbell attested that the ship currently named "Lizette," sitting in the harbor of St. Augustine, was formerly named the "Clarendon." He says the ship had been captured by the "rebels" and is the property of Thompson C. Whitelaw of Jamaica and Mr. Coates in Glasgow, Scotland. Probably written in St. Augustine.
