To the highly esteemed lord, the honorable lord director general of New Netherland.[i]

We, the burgomasters and schepenen of the city of Amsterdam in New Netherland, make known with all due humility, how it is that on the request of Paulus van der Beecq, farmer of the burgher excise, we have drawn up an additional regulation, which is not expressed in the farm, in accordance with the laudable custom of our fatherland; and whereas we deem it necessary that the same be approved by your honors for publication and posting, in order to obviate all future disputes concerning that matter; therefore, we hereby are communicating the same to your honors, requesting that your honors be pleased to grant us the approval of the same in the margin hereof, then to be published and posted. Awaiting your honors’ disposition hereon and remaining your honors’ obedient burgomasters and schepenen of the city of Amsterdam in New Netherland.

(was signed) Jacop Kip, secretary.
