On the eleventh of November one thousand six hundred and forty-nine, we, the undersigned, came to the house of Pieter Antony, where resided one Jan Harmensz, a free trader here, who in our presence was asked whether the wines which were shipped and laden in Mr. Davidt Provoost's ketch by him, Jan Harmensen, were not shipped in said Provoost's ketch by way of freight. Whereupon, in the presence of us, the undersigned, he answered and declared that on the first of September 1649 he had shipped and laden three pipes and one partly filled cask of brandy in Mr. Provoost's ketch as freight, according to the bill of lading, and that neither Provoost nor his owners had any interest in the brandy in the least and were entitled only to the freight. All of which we, the undersigned, certify and declare having been so stated and answered by Jan Harmensen in our presence, offering to confirm the same on oath if necessary and required. Dated as above on the island of Manhatans, in New Netherland.
