Translation

As complaints have been made about Evertje Dircx, a Swedish woman, that she debauches the Company’s Negroes and other men, and that she has been in bad repute for a long time already; therefore, in order not to cause her any public scandal, she was told to transport herself within eight days from the Manhatans either to Long Island or to the South River, wherever it might suit her best, without delay. Dated as above.[i]
