We, Willem [ Kieft ][ , director general, and the council of ] New Netherland, make known: Whereas Francis Lasle has recently departed out of this world, leaving debts and claims and various property such as furniture, a house, a plantation, grain and tobacco, we have thought it advisable, in order that his surviving widow, children or heirs may receive whatever shall be found remaining, to appoint and authorize a suitable person to take care and charge of the property of the said Françoys Lasle, deceased. Therefore, we, observing the fitness of Benjamin Pauwely, have appointed and authorized him, together with Tomas Hal and Ritchert Lots, to take good care of the property belonging to him Lasle and to act and proceed in the matter according to law, provided that he, the administrator, shall be bound to render account of his administration. Done in New Amsterdam, the 29th of August 1643, in New Netherland.
