Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Adam Brouwer, from Cologne, a soldier who sailed for the Chamber of Amsterdam to Brazil in the year 1641, in the ship Swol, of which ship Willem de Haes was merchant, and who in the presence of the undersigned witnesses appoints and empowers, as he does hereby, Mr. Govert Loockmans, merchant on the ship De Jager, to demand and collect and receive from the honorable directors of the General Chartered West India Company one hundred and eighty-nine guilders, earned by him, Adam Brouwer, of their honors at Fort St. Louis de Marinhan, as appears by the account annexed; on payment of which sum by the honorable directors to the above mentioned Loockmans, he is empowered to give a receipt therefor which shall avail. He, the principal, promises to hold and cause to be held valid whatever shall be done in the matter by his attorney. Done in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 21st of September 1646. The original record hereof was signed by Adam Brouwer and by Adriaen van Tienhoven and Gysbert Opdyc as witnesses.
