Anno Domini 1644

By virtue of the contract made by the honorable patroon Kiliaen van Renselaer with Nicolaes Coorn[1] and his men, I, the undersigned, without ground for complaint, discharge Isbrant Clase and Harman Arentsen, of Bremen, to tend to their affairs outside of the said patroon*s colony or the place of their destination. Inasmuch as they have taken a dislike to their service and I do not wish to retain any one against his will. Done at Manhatans in the year above written on the 6th of March, new style, and the original was signed: N. Koren.

Upon collation, in presence of the undersigned witness, this is found to agree [ with the original ], the 6th of April A°. 1644, in Fort Amsterdam, New Netherland
