To the honorable lord director general and councilors of New Netherland.

It is well known to your esteemed honors how it is that Adriaen van Thienhoven has become a fugitive for his committed larcenies and no summons is any longer necessary, because he has already gone overseas to Barbados as a cook in the English service, which is sufficient evidence of wanting never to return. Therefore the fiscal concludes that the aforesaid Adriaen van Tienhoven be banned from this province of New Netherland as an example to others, and in addition that all wages that he has coming to him from the Company remain confiscated. Done at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 13th of March 1657 (was signed) Nicasius de Sille.
