Before me, Cor[ nelis van Tienhoven ], secretary of New Netherland, appeared [ Cornelis Piters ], soldier, about 24 years of age, [ who at the request ] of David Pietersen attests and declares that when he was in the service of the above mentioned David Piet[ ersen ] he and all the other servants did receive proper food, such as bread, beef and pork, butter and milk, all according to the circumstances; he, the deponent, also declares that he well knows that one Cristoffel Laurens has carried away tobacco out of the Company’s warehouse, without David Pietersen’s knowledge. All of which the deponent offers to confirm on oath. Done the 28th of July 1643, in Fort Amsterdam.
