Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Mr. Jan Dollingh, attorney of Isaack Boore, who in the presence of the undersigned witnesses declares [ as follows ]: Whereas Willem Cornelissen Oldemarckt, late master of the ship De Blauwe Haen, has paid here in New Netherland to the above mentioned Dollingh, attorney of Isaack Boere, all such moneys as the aforesaid Isaack Boere has earned on the island of Curaçao from the honorable directors of the General Chartered West India Company, chamber at Amsterdam, as per the account and assignment thereof, and whereas the honorable directors aforesaid have heretofore failed to pay the said account to the aforesaid Willem Cornelisen, because of some difference between the said Oldemerckt and the said directors, wherefore the said Willem Cornelisen has caused sufficient protest to be made against the appearer, therefore the appearer declares that he is moved thereby to empower Mr. Augustyn Herman, in place of the aforesaid Oldemarckt, to ask, demand and collect from the above mentioned directors all such moneys as have been earned by Isaack Boere, together with all such moneys as the appearer has earned from them at Curaçao and on the ship De Blauwe Haen, as will appear by the accounts thereof. On payment and satisfaction of both accounts by the honorable directors, Mr. Augustyn Herman, or his substitute, may execute a receipt therefor, [ the principal ] holding as valid whatever shall be done and transacted in the matter by the aforesaid Augustyn or his substitute. The original hereof in the record is signed by Jan Dollingh and the witnesses, the 29th of October anno 1646, in Fort Amsterdam, New Netherland.
