Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland appeared Mr. Oloff Stevensen and Jacob Wolphertsen, attorneys of Govert Loockemans, who acknowledge that they have transferred to Geerloff Tadicksen and Hendric Ryff the half of the yacht De Hoop and its appurtenances, and that in true and rightful ownership; for which he, Govert Loockemans, has received payment by an account which they, the purchasers, have against the Company; and in case the account be not paid at Amsterdam, the yacht shall be the owner's security and he may repossess himself thereof as his own. In witness whereof this is signed the 18th of July A°. 1644, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
