Translation

Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary in New Netherland, appeared Frans Joosen, from Bruges in Flanders, who constitutes Tonis Cray [ his attorney ] and empowers [ him ] to collect the share due him by the partners in the frigate La Garce, to wit, of the copper, Negroes, coral,[1] etc., which still remain undivided, with the understanding that whenever Tonis Cray shall receive his share, he shall have power to grant an acquittance therefor, doing further as circumstances may require. Done in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 2nd of July anno 1642, in Fort Amsterdam.

[1]: The original has korut, which is probably a mistake for koral, or korael though it is also possible that it is intended for korund, corundum.
