Transcriber's Notes

PDF pages 2 and 3 are exact duplicates of page 1 (identical image); transcribed once.

Certificate number is cut off at the right edge after 'Phil'.

Authorized agent's signature read as 'J. [or F.] R. Boyle'; re-checked at 3x zoom 2026-09-27: 'R. Boyle' clear, first initial has no crossbar and looks more like J, still uncertain.

The reverse of the certificate (referred to in the text) is not included in the scan.
