Whereas I, W[ illem Kle ]ft, direc[ tor general ] of New N[ etherl ]and, attorney [ of ] Mr. Wouter van Twiller, Have [ ] [1] repeatedly pressed you, Claes van Elslandt, for an account and statement of the property of said Mr. van Twiller, even threatening to imprison you or to send you over in a ship, and whereas you do not come to any end [ in the matter ], but only put [ me ] off with lies from day to day; therefore, I hereby warn and order you to close the account by to-morrow, in order that the property of the said Mr. Twiller may be turned to advantage; in default whereof I protest against all loss and damage, which shall be recovered from you forthwith, while in addition you shall be dismissed from the Company's service as a useless person.

Claes van Elslandt gives for answer that he will have the account ready by to-morrow.

In default whereof the honorable director protests as before. Done in Port Amsterdam in New Netherland the 15th of July A°. 1644.

Claes Van Elslant
