Wherefore, in pursuance of the directions of an Act of Congress, made and passed the eighteenth day of March, one thousand eight hundred and eighteen, entitled, "An Act to provide for certain persons engaged in the land and naval service of the United States, in the Revolutionary War," I have transmitted the said Declaration to you the said Secretary, that such further proceedings may be had in the premises, as the said Act may require. 

In testimony of all which, I have caused the Seal of said Court to be hereunto affixed. 

Given under my hand within the said Circuit, the Eighth day of April in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and Eighteen.
