I, the undersigned, John Graye, residing at Vlissingen[1] in New Netherland, acknowledge the receipt from Mr. Tomas Wlllet, merchant, residing at Nieu Pleymuyth[2] in New England, of the sum of twenty pounds sterling, for which I have drawn a bill of exchange on my brother, named Willem Graye, residing at London, in Old England. I therefore declare by this, my note of hand, that in case said bill of exchange should be returned unpaid and protested, I promise to pay and return the aforesaid twenty pounds sterling with the proper interest, for which I bind my person and property, movable, present and future, submitting the same to all courts. In witness whereof this is signed without guile or deceit by me, John Graye, the 15th of June[3] 1649, in New Amsterdam, New Netherland.

John Grey
