Translation

Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Cosyn Gerritssen, about thirty-six years of age, who at the request of Sybolt Clasen attests, testifies and declares, in place and with promise of a solemn oath if need be and required, that it is true and truthful that about Easter, A°. 1643, Cornelis Lambersz Cool came to the house of the deponent and asked the aforesaid Sybolt Clasen for the payment for six boards, who gave for answer that he was ready to pay in case the aforesaid Cornelis Lambersz would pay for the half-barrel of beer, which Sybolt said was still due. Furthermore, that the aforesaid Cornelis Lambersz said: "I can get the three boards from Harman Bastiaensz whenever I please." All of which the deponent declares to be true, offering to confirm the same on oath. Done the 13th of May A°. 1644, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
