[several lines lost] chosen and confirmed [ ] Crieger and [ ] Pietersz Verbruggen.

Done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, dated as above.

Note: the present orphan master is Pieter Wolphertsen, in addition to whom the two mentioned above are appointed, so that there will be three orphan masters now because this year the orphan masters’ work has increased considerably on account of the high mortality rate. This, for information.
