Translation

We, Willem Kieft, etc... send greetings to all persons to whom this shall be shown that whereas some years ago we had conveyed to Laurens Cornelisz van de Wel a double lot located at Smit's marsh to be built on within 5 years, and whereas there has been erected only one house while the remaining part lies unimproved, the aforesaid Laurens Cornelisz has forfeited his claim to that part of the lot which lies waste; therefore, we convey and transport the aforesaid lot, located between the lot of Frerick Lubbertsz and the dam and the land of Cornells van Tienhoven, to Sander Leendersz or to those who may acquire his rights by virtue hereof, with the express conditions etc...

Done at Fort Amsterdam, 2 July 1646; all the above to be null and void if in 6 months no house is built on the lot.
