We, Egbert van Borsum, Barent Jacobsz, Wessel Eversz and Antoni Fernandus, masters of the yachts Prins Willem, Amsterdam, St. Martyn and De Vreede, attest and declare, at the request of Tymen Jansen, ship carpenter, that during our skipper-ship he has worked on our boats and yachts and repaired what was necessary, but that sometimes he lacked materials, so that he could not properly repair the vessels. All of which we declare to be true, offering to confirm this. Done the 19th of February anno 1644, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
