Whereas John Lawreace and Stephanus van Cortlant, guardians of the surviving orphan child of Richard Morris, deceased excuse themselves from regulating the estate for the behoof of the general creditors, therefore the Governor-General of New Netherland hath resolved, on behalf of said creditors, to commission and appoint, for that purpose, Messrs Dirck van Clyff and Walter Webly, who are hereby recommended, with Balthazar Bayard, the already appointed Commissioner, to aid in regulating, in the speediest manner, the estate of the abovenamed Richard Morris, and to report the result to the Governor. Done Fort Willem Hendrick, this 28th February, 1674.
