Whereas Marten Claasen, soldier, deserted from the South River, also advised many other soldiers thereto according to their declarations, and now apprehended by the fiscal on Long Island, promises great improvement and to behave properly from now on, is for this time pardoned of the committed offense on the condition that he shall do carpentry in the service of the honorable Company for six months. If he does so diligently, he is promised that he shall be discharged from the Company’s service and, in addition, given a gift. Done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 24th of April anno 1657.
