24th of April.[i]

[ Whereas Captain Marten Crieger requests that our ensign Dirck Smith might go with him and his troops as guide overland, because he, Smith, having traveled now ] two or three times overland, is acquainted with the road; it is therefore resolved, after consideration, to admit of and grant his request, the more so as we deem it good and necessary that the transfer and delivery that Jacquet will do with the honorable Company’s property will be done in the presence of said Smith, as he, Smith, has turned over the same to him and knows what property Jacquet received upon his arrival. Done at Fort Amsterdam, dated as above.
