Before me, Cornelis van Tienhoven, secretary of New Netherland, appeared Mr. Willem Turc, merchant here, who appoints and empowers, as he does hereby, Mr. Oloff Stevensz, resident here, to demand and receive all his, the principal's, outstanding debts and to settle all and every of the principal's other affairs here in New Netherland; if necessary, to institute legal proceedings and to substitute one or more persons; to execute receipts and to guarantee against future claims. He, the principal, promises to hold valid whatever Oloff Stevensz shall do and perform in the premises. Thus done in Fort Amsterdam in New Nether land, the 24th of September 1648, in New Amsterdam.

Willem Turck
