Translation

[ Jan Montf ]oort declares that he, the appearer, and G[ e ]orge [ Rapaelje ] have examined what Nicolaes Boet has done on the land of Michel; therefore we, as referees, find that there is coming to Nicolaes Boet for clearing and preparing the land belonging to Michel Picet the sum of twenty-four guilders, which Picet ought to pay as it has been well earned on the land. Dated the 5th of January 1643, in Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland.
