Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Cornelis Cornelissen Backer, who appoints and empowers, as he does hereby, Jan Laurensen, from Graft, in his, the principal’s, name and absence to ask, demand and collect here in New Netherland all such outstanding debts as are due here to the principal, on receipt of which he may execute a discharge. [ The principal ] further [ promises ] to hold valid whatever shall be done in the matter by Jan Lourensen, who may also sue at law if necessary. Done the 24th of September 1646, at New Amsterdam.
