<Untitled> (We the undersigned)

We the undersigned, members of the party of investigators above-mentioned, take pleasure in giving our personal endorsement to the statements made in the report to which this certificate is subjoined. The account narrates in brief the salient points in our experience while at the stance held with Mrs. John R. Pickering in Rochester, N.H., on Thursday evening, April 18th, and we feel confident that what there transpired was genuine in character, and owed its origin entirely to the source claimed for it, viz., the power of spirit over matter.

[By invitation, Mr. William R. Tice, of Brooklyn, N.Y., joined our party at Rochester, witnessed the manifestations, and pronounced them genuine without the least reservation. —Ed. B. of L.]
