Document: Permit to captain Jacob to sail for the South river (Delaware)

Jacob Kip, Hendrick Kip, Salomon Lachair, Pieter de Jonge appeared at the session remonstrating that they had various wet goods,[1] together with other goods, to ship in Capt. Jacob’s yacht for transport, as soon as they are loaded, with the first favorable wind from here to the South River; and whereas he is now fully loaded and the wind blows favorably, and he claims that he has to wait another week for some letters, they request that the aforesaid Jacob may be allowed to depart with his yacht and cargo, or otherwise they would have to protest against him for the loss in leakage and otherwise, which they may come to suffer with their goods by the long delay, contrary to promises.

The director general and councilors permit Capt. Jacob to depart from here with his yacht and cargo for the South River of New Netherland, provided that proper notice of his cargo be made to the lord fiscal. Ady ut supra.
