States the case of Charles James Cooper, an Apprentice who was impressed, having been found stowed away on board the Prosper on 28 May 1812 by Lieutenant Jordan. Explains that he has not seen the indenture before and offers reasons why Officers of the Impressment Service may not always check such for such documents. While many Indentures are found to be fake, he believes Cooper's documents are valid.
