Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary in New Netherland appointed by the General Chartered West India Company, appeared Philip Gerritsen, tavern keeper here, who appoints and empowers, as he does hereby, Mr. Willem Turc in his, the principal’s, name to collect and receive from Meyndert Meyndersen van Keren, or the patroons of the colony of Achter Col, the sum of one hundred and thirty-two guilders, four stivers, due him, the principal, as appears by the note annexed;[1] on receipt of which money by Mr. Turck, he may execute a discharge, acting in all things as he, Philip Gerritsen, might or could do were he present; which said attorney shall also have power to institute legal proceedings in the matter aforesaid before all courts, tribunals and judges, wherever it may be necessary, and if needed to substitute one or more persons with one and the same power. The original record hereof in the protocol is signed by Philip Gerritsen and the witnesses, the 27th of November 1643, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
