Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Mr. Willem de Key, merchant here, who by virtue of the assignment or transfer dated October 1, 1646, appoints and empowers, as he does hereby, Hendrick Jansen, tailor, in his, the principal’s, name to demand and collect from the honorable directors of the General Chartered West India Company, chamber at Amsterdam, the sum of two hundred and forty-three guilders, eighteen stivers, earned from their honors by Samuel Dougan in Fort St. Louis de Marinhan,[1] as appeared by the annexed account. On receipt of the said sum by Hendrick Jansen or his attorney, they shall have power to execute a receipt therefor and guarantee their honors against future claims. Thus done and signed by Mr. de Key in the presence of Jacob Hendricksz [ ], as witnesses hereto invited, the 2nd of August 1647, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
