Translation Request: copy of baptismal certificate or passport dated 1845
Good morning.
I recently found a document folded into a family bible for my ggggmother, Margaretha Loewe. I cannot read either the script or the language, but it appears similar to church records from the German Presbyterian church my ancestors attended in Paterson, NJ (though the stamp on it is clearly from another country, probably Germany, where she was born).
If anyone has any additional insight to offer, I would be very grateful

The document is a copy from the baptismal register of the reformed church in Haina for Margaretha Louise Christiane.
The front page just says: "For Margreta Hahn in Haina. Johann Justus"
Translation of the document:
The legal stamp sheet of 1 silver groschen 3 Heller must be inserted.

This might be the Haina in the record. It is just a few miles North of Gemünden.
