I emigrated to the United States of America from Havre, France, on the vessel "S.S. Bourgogne"; my last foreign residence was Leele, Switzerland.

It is my bone fide intention to renounce all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, and particularly to Switzerland, of which I am now a citizen; I arrived at the port of New York, in the state of New York on our about the 3rd. day of March, anno Domini 1890; I am not an anarchist; I am not a polygamist nor a believer in the practice of polygamy; and it is my intention in good faith to become a citizen of the United States of America, and to permanently reside therein: SO HELP ME GOD.
