(TESTIMONY OF JOSIAH GODDARD.)

To whom it may concern:  This is to testify that I am acquainted with Sarah J. Richardson, formerly Sarah J. Richards.  I became acquainted with her in the fall of 1854.  She worked at my father’s at the time.  I heard her tell her story, and from what I saw of her while she was in Worcester, I have no hesitation in saying that she was a woman of truth and honesty.

(TESTIMONY OF EBEN JEWETT.)

I became acquainted with Sarah J. Richardson last winter, at the house of Mr. Ezra Goddard; saw her a number of times after that, at the place where I boarded.  She did some work for my wife, and I heard her speak of being at the Grey Nunnery.  I also heard her story, from Mr. Goddard’s family.  I have no doubt of her being honest and truthful, and I believe she is so considered by all who became acquainted with her.
