[ Whereas ] the late Jan [ ] debts amount to more than the value of the estate and it nevertheless is a Christian duty to place the said [ children and property ] under supervision; therefore we, the director general and council of New Netherland, hereby authorize Jan Jansz Damen, Oloff Stevensz and Cornelis van Tienhoven provisionally to take proper charge of the children aforesaid and of the property left behind, provided that they shall not have to concern themselves with the debts and assets of the estate

Agrees [ with the original, the ] 11th of March 1647
