Document: Note of Hendrick Huygen, commissary of the crown of Sweden, in favor of Willem Turck

This day, date underwritten, before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Hendrick Huygen, commissary of the illustrious crown of Sweden, who acknowledges that on account of the said crown he is truly indebted to Willem Turck, supercargo on the ship De Swarte Raven, in two hundred and ten and one-half beavers, being for goods and merchandise, the receipt whereof to his satisfaction and contentment before the execution hereof the aforesaid Huygen acknowledges, as more clearly appears by the account thereof; which said two hundred and ten and one-half beavers I, Hendrick Huygen, promise to pay on demand to the above mentioned Willem Turck, or his order, free of costs and charges, without any exception, binding therefor my person and property, movable and immovable, present and future, nothing excepted, submitting the same to the jurisdiction of all courts, tribunals and judges. In testimony whereof this is signed by him, Huygen, and the witnesses, the 7th of July 1643, in Fort Amsterdam, New Netherland.
