[several lines lost] Jacob Backer [ ] that he

[ ] has two hogsheads [ ] elk skins

[ ] Stuyvesants, consigned to Sr. Nicolaes van Lith, marked with the aforesaid mark X[i] which 2 barrels of tobacco, and 6 skins he states to have declared to Adriaen van Tienhooven, to whom the declaration was then made, and to have received from the same a permit to ship; but the recognition was paid neither in kind nor with money but requested that the recognition thereof be valued the same as his other shipped merchandise, to be reduced from what he was to have from the Company, which he was allowed; the truth of the declaration can be seen more so as the bills of lading were filled in by the aforesaid Adriaen van Tienhoven with his own hand and the aforesaid Jacobus Backer is debited in the Company’s books for the recognition. Done at the session of the director general and councilors held at Fort Amsterdam in New Netherland, the 7th of November anno 1656.

Was signed,

Jacob Backer
