Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Symon Wolters, Tomas Hendricx and Tobias Esaias, all soldiers, who at the request of Hans Boer attest, testify and declare, in place and with promise of a solemn oath if necessary and required, that it is true that Hans Meyster, of Duringe,[1] also a soldier, lying sick abed on the 21st instant bequeathed and left to Hans Boer, his said comrade, all his earned monthly wages which are due to him from the West India Company, as appears by the account; also his clothes and wearing-apparel. All of which the deponents declare to be true, wherefore the original record hereof is signed by the deponents, the 26th of October anno 1644, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
