Document: Another order to credit Jacob Backer with duties payable on other merchandise shipped by him [Copy of 8:269]

[several lines lost] has shipped [ ] and tobacco, three chests, [ ] pelts and nineteen ox hides, the same consigned to Jacob de Lange, marked with the mark,[i] which goods he states to have declared to Adriaen van Thienhooven, to whom the declaration was then made, and that he had received from the same a permit to ship; but the recognition was not paid in specie nor in money, but he requested that the recognition thereof be valued the same as his other shipped merchandise, to be reduced from what he was to have from the Company, which he was allowed; the truth of the declaration can be seen more so as the bills of lading were filled in by the aforesaid Adriaen van Tienhooven with his own hand and the aforesaid Jacobus Backer is debited in the Company’s books for the recognition. Done at the session of the director general and councilors held at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 7th of November anno 1656.

Was signed, Jacob Backer
