To the director general and the lords councilors of New Netherland.

Adriaen Dircksz Coen shows with all due respect how he is still owed f219:10 on the remainder of an account on behalf of the partners of the La Garce, as can be seen by the attached [ document ] in the hand of Adriaen Keyser (at that time) commissary and bookkeeper at this place, and whereas the account of it has been turned in to the fiscal, he humbly requests that your honor be pleased to pay him, or indicate to him where he can secure his payment. Awaiting your honors’ favorable decision, I remain your honors’ obedient servant. (Was signed:) Adriaen Dircksz Coen.

Having received and read the foregoing petition, upon deliberation, it was resolved as follows:

Adriaen Keyser, having publicly sold the prize goods, and having had administration thereof and having received his salary or fee, before he even had liquidated the account, he is ordered to pay the petitioner his arrears. Ady ut supra.
