Translation

Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Volckert Eversz, who in the presence of the undersigned witnesses acknowledges that he has sold to Cornelis Maesen, who also acknowledges that he has bought, the house and plantation on the island of Manhatans, as large or as small as the same is situated on the island of Manhatans, at the North River, next to the land of Mr. Wouter van Twiller and Tomas Hal, for the sum of seven hundred and fifty guilders, payable in two installments, to wit: the first half in May next ensuing, and the second payment on the 24th of October 1647; for which the parties bind their persons and properties, movable and immovable, present and future, without any exception. Done the 24th of October anno 1646, in New Amsterdam.

Volckert Eversen promises to Cornelis Maesen a deduction on the last payment of eighty guilders for grain.
