Whereas I Joseph Ellmer^ of Hartford
having for three years propagated Marino Sheep
from a Marino Ram, lett upon shares by Corl
David Humphreys in which time I have raised
both half bred and Three quarter bred marinos
from said Ram, but not anticipating the rising
value of sd sheep, was not particular to mark and
register the different grades of Marino blood, there=
fore can only Certify that Thomas Rotch hath pur=
=chased and received One Ewe that I fully and sin=
=cerely believe to be a Three quarter bred Marino
derived from a pure full bred Marino Ram and a well
chosen Ewe half bred Marino. Joseph Elmer Junr
