On payment by their honors of the moneys above mentioned, the attorney shall have power to execute a receipt therefor, which shall avail; he, the principal, holding as valid whatever shall be performed in the case by the above named Gerrit Arentsz or his substitute. Thus done and signed in Fort Amsterdam by Robbert Unfre[ fn ] and Jacob Hendricksz Kip and Abraham Planck, witnesses hereto invited, the 2nd of August anno 1647, in New Netherland.
