Translation

I, Ritchert Smith, undersigned, resident of New Netherland, offer and bind myself and all my property as surety and principal for Jan Wilcocx in the sum of eighty-five guilders which Isaac Allerton’s servant demands on behalf of his master from the aforesaid Wilcock, saying that this debt arises from salary paid to Nidt Ager,[1] who traded at the South river as factor for his master and the said Wilcoc in company, on condition that the above named Allerton show and prove that he advanced eighty-five guilders for Wilcocx to the said Ager for selling Wilcocx’s goods on the South river. This being proved, he shall be prepared to pay. Dated the 14th of August anno 1647, in New Netherland.

Richard Smith
