It is hand-signed by Emily Rose, Andrew Cotter (Coulter), and Patrick Potter, with each signature accompanied by a hand-drawn seal (L.S. and S.S.). Edward M. Rose is recorded as the witness. The reverse side contains a filing notation and a subsequent directive dated December 30, 1865, from Montrose, Pennsylvania.
